El greco adopted his elongated and encompassing style from the
a.

b.

c.

d.

For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer is multiple choice letter b. Mannerists. It is a style of European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, lasting until about 1580 in Italy, when the Baroque style began to replace it. NorthernMannerism continued into the early 17th century.
