(plato) which is not a characteristic of baroque architecture?

ceiling frescoes

heavy ornamentation
c.
small, simple buildings
d.
dramatic lights and shadows

The correct answer is ‘small, simple buildings’. Baroque architecture, beginning in Italy in the 16th century, used embellishment to express the glory and power of the Catholic Church, partly as a response to the political situation of the time - the Protestant Reformation.
