Answer 1

The artwork that best fits the characteristics you described—covering floors or walls, featuring bright colors, and displaying geometric patterns, motifs, vines, and flowers—is likely the Portal in the Northwest Arcades of the Friday Mosque in Isfahan, Iran. This type of Islamic architecture often includes elaborate tilework with vibrant colors and intricate patterns.

The other two options, the Byzantine mosaic and the Nile Mosaic, while colorful and featuring patterns, do not primarily cover floors or walls in the same way that Islamic tilework does.
