The correct answer is letter B.

Explanation: Is an oil painting technique developed during the Renaissance that uses strong tonal contrasts between the three-dimensional forms of light and dark for the model, often for dramatic effects. The underlying principle is that the solidity of the form is best achieved by the light falling against it. It is a key element of black and white and low photography.
