Answer 1

The most likely reason the artist used the color red in the art would be:

a. to create contrast to attract the viewer's attention.

While red can also evoke excitement (b) and can be used in patterns (c), its strong visual impact often serves to draw the viewer's eye to specific areas of the artwork. Option d, creating confusion, is less likely to be an intentional use of color.
