Why did the ancient Greeks want realistic representations of the human body?
to compete with Egyptian statues
for life size statues to represent their gods
so they were too heavy to steal
so they could sell them for more money

The best answer is "B. for life size statues to represent their gods."

The Ancient Greeks believed that their gods took human form, so in order to worship properly, they created realistic life-sized representations of their gods.
