Answer: b. Both reduce items to basic geometric forms.

Both works are early Cubist pieces (Picasso and Braque) that break subjects into simplified, geometric planes and flatten space. They do not, however, share the same compositional arrangement — one is a fragmented group of figures, the other a simplified landscape of houses — so c is less accurate.
