b is correct, c is not.

Martin Schongauer (c.1450–1491) was a leading German painter and—especially—engraver known for his masterful hatching and cross‑hatching that produced delicate gradations from deep blacks to faint grays using only lines. He is not credited with inventing a new woodcut technique; his fame rests on his innovations in copperplate engraving and his influence on later artists (notably Albrecht Dürer).
