Answer:

The correct answers are: B They show the artist’s vision of beauty, fitness, balance, and harmony. A They were sculpted in an ideal style. C They have a contrapposto pose with an S-curve of the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Greek sculptures researched perfection. Most statues represented the divinities, therefore they clearly couldn't look mundane, or like any commoner. The Greek sculptors created unrealistic beauty ideals based on symmetry, balance and perfection.
