○ a
○ b

Explanation:

In art, cross - hatching (a technique of drawing parallel lines in different directions) is used to create the illusion of various values (shades of light and dark). Impasto (a technique where paint is laid on thickly) is used to create the illusion of depth. Let's analyze the options:

• Option a: Cross - hatching is not mainly for depths, and impasto is not for tone. Eliminate a.
• Option b: Cross - hatching is not for distances, and impasto is not for definition. Eliminate b.
• Option c: Cross - hatching is not mainly for shadows, and impasto is not for light. Eliminate c.
• Option d: Cross - hatching creates value illusions, and impasto creates depth illusions. This matches the art techniques.

Answer:

D. (1) values; (2) depth
