Question

a relief sculpture is
a. a three - dimensional form of art that is meant to be seen from all sides.
b. a sculpture that has a relationship with its surrounding and religious significance.
c. a type of sculpture that contains objects embedded in a ground surface.
d. a form of site specific work, which is designed to affect the way a space is experienced.

Explanation:

A relief sculpture is a type of sculpture where the sculpted elements remain attached to a background of the same material. It is not meant to be seen from all sides (eliminating option a). It doesn't necessarily have a religious significance (eliminating option b). Site - specific work (option d) is a broader concept and not the defining characteristic of a relief sculpture. A relief sculpture can be thought of as having elements (like objects) that are in some way 'embedded' or raised from a background (ground surface in a sense), which aligns with option c.

Answer:

c. a type of sculpture that contains objects embedded in a ground surface.
