Of the following choices, which is a recognizable aspect of Romanesque architecture?

Rounded arches

Ribbed vaults

Flying buttresses

Stained glass windows

Rounded arches are perhaps the most recognizable feature of Romanesque architecture-not only because they are recognizably "Roman-like" and are similar to the rounded architectural forms found on classical Roman ruins, but also because they stand in stark contrast to the pointed arches of Gothic architecture.
