Explanation:

First Question:

Caspar David Friedrich was a Romantic painter. In Romantic art, light is often used to create mood and emotion, not for wealth/power, political messages, or technical accuracy. Option a is incorrect as his works don't focus on wealth. Option c is wrong as his paintings are more about nature and spirituality, not politics. Option d is incorrect as technical accuracy isn't the focus of light use in his works. So option b is correct.

Romanticism reacted against the Enlightenment, which emphasized reason. Realism came after Romanticism, industrialization is an economic/social movement, and symbolism is a later art movement. So the philosophy Romanticism reacted against, emphasizing reason over emotion, is the Enlightenment.

Answer:

b. Conveys mood and emotion
