The correct answer is **d. all of the above**.

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner illustrated his disapproval of city life in "Street, Berlin" through multiple techniques:

- **Harsh lines** create an uncomfortable visual experience, reflecting the tension of urban life.
- **Seemingly separated yet crowded composition** emphasizes both the isolation and the overwhelming presence of others in the city.
- **Tilted perspective** adds to the chaotic and disorienting feeling of the urban environment.

Collectively, these elements contribute to a critical portrayal of city life.
