please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

A mosaic is an image made by arranging colored pieces (such as small stones, glass, or tiles) on a flat surface. These pieces are held in place using leading (in the case of stained - glass - like mosaics) or an embedding filler (in the case of stone/tile mosaics).

• Option a is incorrect as it only mentions glass colored by metallic salts (too narrow, as mosaics can use other materials).
• Option c describes collage (not mosaic).
• Option d is a more limited description (focusing on stones/tiles and filler, while mosaic can also use other materials like glass with leading). Option b is a more general and accurate description of a mosaic.

Answer:

B. images made by arranging colored pieces on a flat surface, which are held using leading
