The correct option is:

B) The woodcut's line is jagged; the etching line is smooth.

Woodcuts typically produce lines that are more textured and can appear jagged due to the nature of the relief printing process. In contrast, etching, which involves incising a design into a metal plate, generally results in smoother and finer lines.
