Correct answer: c. Carlo Maderno.
Brief explanation: Bramante began the rebuild with a centralized (Greek‑cross) scheme and Michelangelo later unified and simplified that scheme and designed the great dome. Carlo Maderno (early 17th century) lengthened the nave and added the monumental Baroque façade, converting the original central‑plan idea into the long (Latin‑cross) basilica form that we see today.
