Who built Riverside Church? Who was the architect?

John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick..Allen, Collins, and Pelton
Antonio Meucci
Peter Stuyvesant
Auguste Bartholdi, Gustave Eiffel

The correct answer is: John D. Rockefeller Jr. and Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick..Allen, Collins, and Pelton

Riverside Church was built by John D. Rockefeller Jr. in collaboration with Baptist Minister Harry Emerson Fosdick. The correct choice highlights this important collaboration between a philanthropist and a minister who shared a vision of creating a church that would serve the community in various ways. Option B, Antonio Meucci, is not correct in this context as he is known for his work as an inventor, particularly in the development of the telephone. Option C, Peter Stuyvesant, was a Dutch colonial director-general who is associated with the early history of New York City, but he did not build Riverside Church. Option D mentions Auguste Bartholdi and Gustave Eiffel, who are known for their work on the Statue of Liberty, not Riverside Church.
