Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Most concise = least words and detail

In sentence A, there are 7 words.

In sentence B, there are 8 words.

In sentence C, there are 13 words.

In sentence D, there are 6 words.

Sentence D has the least amount of words, HOWEVER, it is not as detailed as Sentence A.

Hope this helps :)

The answer would be A. It’s the most concise because of the details given within the sentence. The mother, who’s mother? Your mother. Supports the arts. What does she support? The arts. What arts does she support? Literature. It is more detailed than any other sentence listed here.
