Answer: a.

Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) is widely regarded as a seminal work that helped launch Cubism and a major break with traditional Western pictorial space — its fractured planes, multiple viewpoints and the use of African mask‑inspired faces were revolutionary. Option d is incorrect: Picasso painted for many decades afterward (he died in 1973), so this was not his final painting.
