Answer:

d. All of the above are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The title of the art piece painted by famous surrealist René Magritte is Son of Man. The name of the painting suggested it could be connected to Christianity, as this is the expression from Christian writings. Additionally, the green apple often holds the biblical symbolism of temptation and original sin coming from the fact Adam and Eve ate it in the Garden of Eden, despite God’s orders not to.

From this also comes the idea that painting symbolizes the temptation and the fact it is always in front of mankind, unable to move away. The apple is in front of man’s face, just as various desires are always blurring our way. Because of this, viewers can often feel uncomfortable seeing the painting. It reminds them of their own temptations and the ways they sometimes hide the truth, even the obvious things.
