Answer 1

c. The figures in Jewish art tended to be very posed.

Explanation: Jewish art (e.g., synagogue murals and illuminated manuscripts) often illustrates Torah narratives and uses strong outlines with flat color; sculpture was rare because of aniconic concerns. Many works, however, emphasize narrative action rather than rigid, highly posed figures.
