• Option C: Southeastern cave art being less common than European due to light fading matches the idea that external light damaged it, reducing visibility/quantity. Keep.
• Option D: Archaeologists struggling to authenticate dark - zone caves in the Southeast due to faded appearance aligns with challenges in verifying these sites. Keep.

• Option F: The question is cut off, but from context, the other options are weaker.
