The statement that does not align with the theories regarding why ancient cave paintings were created is:

c they were created to evoke complex emotion in young hunters, using a large palette of colors.

This option focuses on the emotional evocation and artistic expression, which is less commonly cited as a primary purpose of cave paintings compared to the other options that relate more directly to hunting, spiritual beliefs, and symbolic practices.
