a) Baroque artists sought to convey figures full of emotion and energetic movement.

Explanation:

Baroque artists were trying hard to express energy, emotion, movement, dynamics, and drama through their art as well as their sculptures. We can look into works of some of the most famous Baroque sculptors like Bernini, Maderno or Mochi, to see sculptures that are in movement, full of expression, details, emotions, and life.

Renaissance was aiming more for a classic, realistic style that celebrated the figure and the simplicity, while the Baroque style was full of life and drama, embodied through sharp contrasts, theatrical facial expressions, movement, and ornamentation.
