What does the passage suggest about Renaissance artists?

A. They had complete artistic freedom.

Detailed Explanation

Key Evidence:

• "limited creative freedom regarding themes"

Why others are wrong: A ('Limited creative freedom' contradicts complete freedom.), C (They 'worked under' patrons, accepting commissions.), D ('Wealthy patrons' aren't specified as only religious.).
