In Francisco Goya's work "Contemptuous of the Insults," the correct option regarding how he used caricature to depict the figures is:

• The Frenchmen's hats are comically large to show their self-importance.

Goya often employed exaggeration in facial features and attire to critique and satirize social and political issues, and the oversized hats serve as a visual representation of the characters' inflated sense of self-worth.
