c. not influenced by emotion
d. not for monetary gain

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Dadaism was an art movement that rejected traditional art values. The phrase "at the will of the artist" implies a focus on the artist's own creation. Option B ("not at the perception of the masses") maintains the parallel structure (using "at") and aligns with Dadaist rejection of mass - based or traditional (perceived by the masses) art concepts. Options A ("to please") and D ("for") change the preposition structure. Option C is not in line with the core idea of Dadaist emphasis on the artist's will rather than a simple lack of emotion influence.

Answer:

B. not at the perception of the masses
