Answer 1

The answer is CORINTHIAN. The very first columns were what was known as ARCHAIC: These were the columns that you find in Egypt, Crete, Early Greece and most of the Middle East from about the year 3,000 B.C. The DORIC columns were a slight improvement and were seen from about 800-500B.C. The classical Greek column, the IONIC was prevelent in the great days of classical Greece in the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.
These had streaks down them and little decorated flurries above and below. They were put together by having circular slabs of the column and putting them on top of one other by means of iron nails and the weight pressure of the thing.
The CORINTHIAN columns came about with the advent of Hellanistic civilization which started with the conquests of Alexander the Great from 333-323 B.C. They had more streaks down the column and on top and bottom they had a series of decorated fancy flurries. These were in use until the developement of the Roman Corinthian style which incorporated much more pronounced streaks and grooves down the column and a compicated series of decorated flurries and other decorations which kept on bending upon each other. This style came in about the time of the Ceasars and was the last column style in the ancient world. After this came the Arch. And after that the Romanesque.
The Parthenon was a grand temple to Athena built in Athens at the time of Pericles in the last half of the 5th century B.C. The Gregoric was the Gregorian chant of the monks of the middle ages named after Pope Gregory the Great. The Athenian was the name of the people of Athens who did use all three of Greek styles: DORIC(which was named after the people who came down and smashed the Mycenian civilization in the 11th century B.C.-notably the Spartans) IONIC(named after the most of the original inhabitants of the Mycenian civilization-notable the Athenians) CORINTHIAN(named after the city of Corinth which apparently started it in the Hellanistic era)
The CORINTHIAN style is still popular today and adorns many old style public buildings. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

B.Corinthian. Did you know that the ornamentation on the capital is a stylized version of the acanthus plant leaves? The Coliseum in Rome used progressively lighter columns as the levels rose. Doric on the bottom, Ionic above Doric and Corinthian on top.

Corinthian

Doric order was plain (although columns were often fluted) and had plain capitals. See Link 1 - Temple of Neptune at Paestum
