Correct answer: a.

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) is widely regarded as a key work that initiated the avant-garde movement of Cubism. Option b is also true in that the painting provoked strong controversy and shock at the time for its subject and radical style. Options c and d are false — it was not officially banned, and it was nowhere near Picasso’s final painting.
