B is the correct answer .Most of the caves which had been discovered contain art from prehistoric times which shows their lifestyle, too.The most common subjects in cave paintings are large wild animals, and tracings of human hands as well as abstract patterns and naturalistic images. Drawings of humans were rare. The most common pigments used in cave paintings were red and yellow ochre, hematite, manganese oxide and charcoal.
