Answer:
B). To enhance the cartoon's comment or message.
Explanation:
Cartoons are the visual method to demonstrate or pinpoint a particular idea or message about a particular subject. In the given cartoon, the features of Abraham Lincoln are exaggerated to 'enhance the cartoon's comment or message'. The features are often overstated or amplified to mirror a particular message to the audience. In the given cartoon, Lincoln's features are inflated with a motive to inculcate a particular idea into the minds of the audience through visual representation. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the answer.
