C. plaster, pretty confident it's correct

Answer 2

The right answer here is C - Plaster. Egyptian and Roman artists chose to paint frescos on plaster because it was a material readily available to them that managed to create excellent results. This particular technique of mural painting involved using water to merge paint pigments and the plaster itself, and there are some truly beautiful examples of art from the ancient world created in this way.
