b. the reflection of light is captured on the building
c. there is a presence of broken brush strokes
d. complementary colors are used to create shadows

Answer 1

a. a famous cathedral was chosen for the subject of the painting

While it is true that Monet painted the Rouen Cathedral, the selection of a famous cathedral itself is not a characteristic of Impressionism. The other options (b, c, and d) more directly describe techniques and characteristics associated with the Impressionist style.
