c. freestanding relief
b. low relief
d. sunken relief

Answer 1

There should have been a picture of the relief sculpture. I'll just define the choices.

Here are the three types of relief sculpture:

1) High relief is a sculpture whose form extends at least halfway out of the back ground.

2) Low relief is a sculpture whose form projects only slightly from its background.

3) Sunken relief is a sculpture whose carvings are sunk below the level of the surrounding surface.

Answer 2

Here are the three types of relief sculpture:
1) High relief is a sculpture whose form extends at least halfway out of the background.
2) Low relief is a sculpture whose form projects only slightly from its background.
3) Sunken relief is a sculpture whose carvings are sunk below the level of the surrounding surface.

This relief sculpture is an example of a high relief.

This example is a high relief because it forms project which is half from the background and is completely disengaged from the ground, therefore, approximating sculpture in the round.
