Explanation:

Analyze the definition of symbolism

Symbolism in art refers to using an object, color, or element to represent a deeper meaning beyond its literal appearance.

Evaluate the given options

• "Like the artist's name in the corner": This is a literal signature, not a symbol.
• "Like bright colors used for fun": This describes decorative color use, not symbolic meaning.
• "Like a blurry background": This is a stylistic technique (depth of field/focus), not a symbol.

• Like the artist’s name in the corner
• Like bright colors used for fun—they
