If you must pick one, c is the better answer.
Why:
- Modern art broadly reflects cultural, social and technological changes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the disillusionment and new outlook that followed World War I were major influences on movements like Dada and Surrealism.
- b is an overgeneralization. Many modern artists did rebel — but usually against academic art conventions, bourgeois tastes, or social values rather than against specific political leaders. Some movements or works were explicitly political (e.g., Picasso’s Guernica, or political affiliations of some Futurists), but political rebellion is not a universal feature of modern art.
