A.

C.

D.
Engravings didn’t require the same protection that cave paintings did in order to endure.

Answer 1

The reason engravings are so widely dispersed is because Engravings didn’t require the same protection that cave paintings did in order to endure.

Reasons Engravings were widely dispersed

• They did not need to be protected as much as paintings because they are unlikely to wash away.
• They can be made on various types of rocks and not just smooth ones.
• They are less likely to be destroyed by harsh weather and time.

As a result of this, most African art was made of engravings which were done to last as long as possible. This was then copied by several African cultures and allowed to engravings to spread.

In conclusion, option D is correct.
