Which of the three images below is the best example of a balanced composition of small parts within the larger form?

Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris, France, (1163-1250)

Notre Dame Cathedral is the best example of balance created by the use of small parts within the larger form. The structural stones, the sculptural ornamentation and the stained glass windows with their tracery are the small parts that make up the larger form of the Cathedral.
