Answer 2

The correct answer is letter "A": They idealized facial features to create their vision of perfect beauty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Yoruba sculptures placed special attention on the head of their art because they believed it is the most important part of a human body. An example of this is the Ife head that represents the ruler Ooni. It is a copper-alloy piece of art with naturalistic features even if the size is higher than a regular head.
