The development of opera in the baroque period was the result of:
a) a small group of philosophers, musicians and poets who met in florence to consider reviving the synthesis of music and drama as it had once been done in the ancient greek culture.
b) someone uncovering a copy of hildegard von bingen's play.
c) a group of housewives who overheard their children acting out stories with music and shared this practice with their composer husbands.
d) nothing in particular; it just came about one day as a form of entertainment since they were all quite restless and bored without all the modern conveniences of television, movies and radio.

the answer would be A

Explanation:

idk if you have to explain or not but the explanation would be that in the early 1600's Greeks thought their music was trivial, and it was inspired from dram and acadeimia. They poured emotion into long speeches, which evolved into poetry, then into song form. musicians tried to capture this but failed.
