please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

In art, cross - hatching is a technique used to create different values (shades of light and dark) by overlapping lines. Impasto, which is the thick application of paint, is used to create an illusion of depth. Let's analyze each option:

• Option a: Cross - hatching is more about values than just depths, and impasto is about depth not just tone. So this is incorrect.
• Option b: Cross - hatching doesn't mainly create an illusion of distances, and impasto isn't about definition. So this is incorrect.
• Option c: Cross - hatching is not mainly for creating shadows (it's for values), and impasto isn't about light. So this is incorrect.
• Option d: Cross - hatching creates various values, and impasto creates an illusion of depth. This matches the art techniques.

Answer:

D. (1) values; (2) depth
