An important effect of the Renaissance on European culture was:
A. A sense of common heritage based on classical Greek and Roman civilizations.
During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence of interest in the classical cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. This renewed focus on classical learning, art, literature and philosophy fostered a sense of admiration and emulation of the achievements of these civilizations. It led to a revival of classical themes in art and literature, a rediscovery of ancient texts and a renewed emphasis on humanism, which placed importance on individualism, reason and education. All inspired by the values of the ancient Greeks and Romans. This revival contributed to a sense of shared cultural heritage among Europeans based on classical civilizations.
