Monophonic chants were often performed by choirs or soloists in unison, creating a solemn and reverent atmosphere in religious ceremonies.

C. The use of multiple independent voice types, as opposed to the one melody line in monophonic singing.

This means that in polyphonic music, there are multiple voices or parts that are singing or playing different melodies simultaneously, creating a harmonically rich texture.
