Answer 2

D. An ancient Greek technique in which the figures appear as black silhouettes on red background.

Step-by-step explanation:

Black-figure pottery painting is a style of painting that can be commonly seen on antique Greek vases dating from between the 7th and 5th centuries BC (although rare examples of this technique dating from the 2nd century BC exists as well). This style originated in Corinth. Figures and ornaments painted on the natural red clay surface of a vase in glossy black pigment look like silhouettes. As an example, you can see the painting shown below, depicting Heracles and Geryon from about 540 BC.
