Answer 2

Of the techniques listed below, those which I most associate with the Renaissance artists are the following:

C - Chiaroscuro to make figures in paintings look real and solid.

D - Figures with pleasing proportion, accurate anatomy, ideal beauty, and physical perfection.

E - Sfumato to create a smoky or hazy appearance in paintings.

Whilst renaissance artists did use the technique of atmospheric perspective, this was not to create a sense of flatness, but rather the create levels of depth within the paintings.
