b.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: a. relief sculpture.

Relief sculpture refers to a technique where the image is carved into a flat surface. Within relief sculpture, there can be variations such as "high relief" (more prominently raised) and "bas relief" (slightly raised), but the general term encompasses all. However, if you are looking specifically for the term that includes both high relief and low relief, then "relief sculpture" would be the most encompassing answer.
