Using the timeline it can be deduced that the renaissance was a period of a) war. b) diplomacy. c) discovery and creation. d) increase of government.

The answer should be C. Although I do not see the timeline I know this to be true. There was hardly war during this time and everyone was creating something. The microscope, telescope, and the first mechanical clock where created during this time.

I hope this helps! :)
