please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall relief sculpture types: Low relief (bas - relief) has figures slightly raised, sunken relief is recessed, high relief has figures projecting significantly, and freestanding is fully 3D. Option C: Picture 1 (low relief - slight projection), Picture 2 (freestanding - fully independent), Picture 3 (high relief - strong projection) matches standard definitions. Other options have errors (e.g., A misclassifies Picture 1, B misclassifies Picture 2, D has incorrect terms like "high - standing").

Answer:

C. Picture 1: low relief; Picture 2: freestanding sculpture; Picture 3: high relief
