参考答案
正确答案：C
解析：... the builders... dared not make light-admitting openings... for fear the arches and vaults would collapse, and so the interiors of Romanesque buildings tend to be dark." Choice A is not correct because the Gothic period, which followed the Romanesque, solved the problem with pointed arches that allowed for windows. Choice B is not correct because the author does not mention that windows were difficult to make. Choice D is not correct because the reference to reinforcement at the major points of intersection was characteristic of Gothic, not Romanesque, architecture.
