The statement that best describes the similarities between the Enlightenment and the earlier Renaissance would be that " a. Both focused on a philosophy of human behavior," since the goal of the Enlightenment was to create better societies, and the goal of the Renaissance was to put the emphasis on the individual instead of the state.
