I believe that (A) allowed for function, historical significance, and aesthetics to all be important.
Function: The statues also function as the pillars of the building to hold the building up
Historical significance: The statues look to me to be carved with the impression of a certain ruler, and have historical significance of what the ruler have done carved on the bottom part of his 'clothing'.
Aesthetics: As this is a masterpiece, and uses art to express the history, Aesthetics is also used.
hope this helps
The answer is "3). It appears to have been created to mark the unification of Egypt."
It isn't 1, as the Palette of Narmer is an Egyptian artwork, not Sumerian.
It isn't 2, as it doesn't feature cuneiform, but hieroglyphs.
It isn't 4, as the art isn't Mesopotamian, but Egyptian.
This artwork is using textures by using the jam and peanut butter, i think it is also using negative space, there are different tones and colours, like the jam is a warm red and the peanut butter is a cold light brown, i also feel like the lines aren’t definite but rather different on both sides.
