The question is written strangely. Are you sure you didn't leave any words out? In addition, you haven't numbered the answer choices, making them harder to deal with.
Without having read the story (you are referring to a story, right?), it's impossible for anyone here to have much of an idea about this.
The painting?

The temple??

In what way is the story of "The Qorikancha" temple evident in Jaune Quick-To-See Smith's "Trade (Gifts for Trading Land with White People)"?
Symbolism in "Trade" relays how native culture was co-opted by Europeans
Elements of the creator god Viracocha's narrative are reflected in the artifacts
Colors of gold and silver in the painting recall the interior treatment at Qorikancha
Use of line in the painting relates to social hierarchies evident in the Qorikancha floor plan
This question really confuses me. I know about both works pretty well, but I still can't seem to make the connection in order to answer the question. Please help?

No, that's how the question is written.
I'm assuming by "story" they mean the cultural context of the Qorikancha temple.
According to one of my textbooks, it says that the temple was placed at a convergence of four main highways which connected the four mean districts of the empire. The temple had a symbolic importance of religion where it united the divergent cultural practices throughout the vastness of the Incan territory.
This leads me to believe option A is the closest since the other three don't seem to connect with Smith's artwork in any way

1. Symbolism in "Trade" relays how native culture was co-opted by Europeans
2. Elements of the creator god Viracocha's narrative are reflected in the artifacts [what artifacts? the items across the top of the painting?]
3. Colors of gold and silver in the painting recall the interior treatment at Qorikancha
4. Use of line in the painting relates to social hierarchies evident in the Qorikancha floor plan
bold refers to painting
underline refers to story (I think)
The answer you decide on has to relate the story to the painting. Both need to be detailed in some way in the answer.
What is it in #1 that refers to the story?

1. The symbolism in Juane's "Trade" painting is about the tragedy that took place when the Europeans forced the Native Americans to flee their homes after they took their land through trade- they killed a bunch of them. (The Native Americans had no concept of the value of land to the Europeans and had traded some of it to them for precious beads and ribbons to make these special Bandolier Bags which had great cultural significance to them).
2. I honestly don't know too much on Viracocha, only that he's one of Inca's main gods. And the artifacts strung up (on a clothing line) on Juane's painting were Native American trinkets such as tomahawks and arrowheads.
3. I don't know where they got silver, the interior of the temple only mentions gold, and in Juane's painting, silver nor gold is used.
4. None of my resources talk about the floorplan of the temple, but the lines and layers in Jaune's painting "represent the layers of history and complexity"

The first answer (I picked) was correct because of the reasoning I listed. Thank you for helping me think through this!!!
You're welcome!
