c. He understood classical architecture and gave it a fresh look.

Bramante studied ancient Roman models and applied their proportions, symmetry, and classical orders in a renewed, monumental way (e.g., the Tempietto, his plan for St. Peter’s). That deep grasp of classical principles—rather than mere technical novelty or simply winning patrons—defined the High Renaissance architectural style.
