Explanation
The sentence suggests a contrast:
“After centuries of ___” it implies the thesis was ignored or not well-known means obscurity fits best.
“is enjoying a surprising ___” it implies a revival or renewed interest so renaissance fits perfectly.
limelight means attention, which contradicts the idea of later revival
longevity does not create a contrast with revival
decimation means destruction, opposite of revival
neglect would repeat the same idea instead of contrasting
Answer: B,D
