The correct answer is:
a. He used a very thin layer of dry plaster to create a version of a fresco that shortly began to peel away from the wall.
Leonardo da Vinci's technique for creating The Last Supper involved applying tempera paint on a dry wall instead of the traditional method of fresco, which required the paint to be applied on wet plaster. This approach led to significant deterioration of the painting over time, contributing to concerns that it may be completely lost one day.
