Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blanks.
A genre of sculpture that ______ and developed between 100 BCE and 700 CE in the ethnically diverse and religiously tolerant cultures of the ancient region of Gandhara is the anthropomorphic depiction of Lord Buddha. The body of sculptural art ______ this period is unique for its syncretic character, ______ stylistic influences of the Hellenistic, Persian and Kushan cultures.
Answer: A
The right set is 'arose', 'from' and 'combining'. A genre of sculpture 'arose and developed' over the period named. The body of sculptural art 'from this period' is unique, and the last clause 'combining stylistic influences of the Hellenistic, Persian and Kushan cultures' gives the reason for its syncretic character. 'Ensued' and 'appeared' do not pair as well with 'and developed', and 'since', 'of' and 'at' do not fit before 'this period', and 'cooperating' and 'fusing' do not suit the influences as 'combining' does.
