Final answer:
The correct answer to the question regarding the term used by archers and artists to mean pulling back the string to bend the bow is 'draw'. This is the action an archer performs before releasing an arrow and it is also associated with the action of producing art.
Step-by-step explanation:
The term you are referring to, which means to pull back the string to bend the bow, is commonly used by both archers and artists. The correct answer to your question is A) Draw. When an archer prepares to shoot an arrow, they draw the bow by pulling back on the string, and artists might use the term draw to describe the action of creating a piece of art. The term taut, on the other hand, is descriptive of a state in which something, such as a rope or cable, is stretched tight. The act of a person blowing through a stretched rubber band involves tension, but this does not relate directly to the term we are looking for, which is draw.
