Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The paintings at Pech-Merle are especially remarkable since they were produced over a period of roughly 5,000 years by many groups of humans with horses shown in the earliest paintings. Other prehistoric people added handprints at a later time. Following that, a different group settled there and added more paintings of enormous bison. The handprints found at Pech-Merle are a blend of positive and negative representations that date to circa 15,000 BCE.

Answer 2

C. The paintings use both positive and negative images.
