d. all of the above

The painting uses multiple Neoclassical features: a classical subject (Cornelia and the Gracchi from Roman history), Roman architecture in the background, figures in ancient dress, classical objects/props, and a moralizing, restrained composition with clear lines and emphasis on civic virtue—all hallmarks of the Neoclassical revival.
