c. interest in religion and the afterlife.
d. use of natural materials and methods of creating art.

please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Islamic art avoids figural imagery (due to religious beliefs) and uses calligraphy as an important art form. Egyptian and Greek art often used people and animals in their art (contradicting option a). Interest in religion and afterlife was present in Egyptian art (so option c is not a unique difference). Use of natural materials was not the main differentiating factor (eliminating option d).

Answer:

B. avoidance of figural imagery and use of calligraphy as an alternative.
