What caused renaissance to arrive in italy first

best single reason for Italy as the birthplace of the Renaissance was the concentration of wealth, power, and intellect in the Church

Explanation:

The three reasons why the Renaissance began in Italy were the emergence of the dominant and wealthy Italian city-states, the incomplete dissociation of the modern Italian civilization from its past culture and the prevalent display of monuments and architectural feats that constantly reminded the people of the magnificence of the ancient Roman Empire

the correct answer is d

the fact that could also be added to column b is that during world war ii, specifically between the years 1941 and 1945, japan expanded its territory towards the indonesian territory in what was known later as part of the "pacific war". in that time, japan could conquer the philipines, singapore,   borneo, central java, malang, cebu, sumatra and various other islands of the area, therefore expanding its territory for a brief period of time.
