Final answer:
In lithography, an oily crayon, pencil, or liquid is used to start the drawing process. The artist creates artwork on stone with these grease-based materials because they interact with the ink in a way that allows for proper image transfer. OPTION D IS ANSWER
Step-by-step explanation:
The process of lithography starts with a drawing that is usually created with an oily crayon, pencil, or liquid. This is because lithography is based on the principle that oil and water do not mix. During this process, an artist will draw directly on a stone (or metal plate) using a grease pen which contains oil-based material.
After the drawing is completed, acid is used to etch the unprotected parts of the design into the stone. When printing, mixed ink is spread over the damp stone, allowing the water to go to the non-etched parts, and the ink sticks to the etched areas where the grease was applied. This creates a clear, transferable image once the stone and paper are pressed together. OPTION D IS ANSWER
