The correct answer for the given question above would be the third option: for spiritual, historical, or moral reasons, or for beauty and propaganda purposes. Generally, humans create art as their way of expression and communication such as an expression of beauty and what they feel about issues related to different aspects of life.

(A) the graceful curves of a treeArt is a distinct range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artefacts (artworks), revealing the author's creative, conceptual idea, or technical skill, designed to be appreciated for their elegance or emotional power. The option A represents something produced by nature rather than humanly efforts.2. (C)  for spiritual, historical, or moral reasons, or for beauty or propaganda purposesOne area of the human activity that appears not to have similarities out in nature is the arts. It is hard to consider a pigeon Picasso or a baboon Botticelli. Indeed, just a few animal species have even the faintest hints of the beginning of culture. Without culture, there certainly can’t be art, as we know it, because art cannot survive separate from culture. Art reflects culture, spreads culture, forms culture, and remarks on culture. There is just no way that animals can possibly encounter art as we do.3. (D) Because the society that created them did not yet possess written language.Prehistoric characters often interpreted their world- and possibly their faiths through visual images. Art developed with the occurrence and dispersion of fully contemporary people through Africa, Europe, Asia, Australasia, and the Americas. Paintings, sculptures, engravings, and, later, pottery exhibit not only a search for beauty but also complex social systems and spiritual concepts.4. (A) Divine BeingsIn religion, divinity or Godhead is the nature of objects that are considered to originate from a supernatural influence or deity, such as a god, supreme being, creator deity, or spirits, and are consequently considered as pure and holy.5. (B) evidence of early shamanismRelated carvings to those discovered in Hohle Fels cave were found in 1939 elsewhere in Germany. Ever after the discovery last century, researchers have considered the reason for their invention. Some believe the figures were simply made out of regard for the natural world. Others consider that these sculptures are proof of early Shamanism.

for spiritual, historical, or economic reasons, or for beauty or propaganda purposes.Explanation:I hope this helps !!! If I am right please mark me brainliest
Hey there! Hello!Woof, long question! I'll try to be brief in my reasonings, but considering the way I like to answer questions, this'll probably end up being an essay or something. I'm not sure you even still need these, but I'd love to help out if you do. For your first question, I would take into consideration who produced each one of these things. The first is the odd one out, as it has been created by nature instead of a human who has created an art piece. I know something like a design on a Chinese place-setting may seem insignificant, but someone sat down and designed whatever was on it so that it may be mass produced, technically making it art/design. Not to say that nature cannot produce art, as exhibited by the person who photographed the tree, but A seems to be your answer for the sake of the question, since no artistic vision or design went into the tree-making process. For your second question, I would just automatically disregard any answer that has the word "selfish" in it. I don't believe that art, even if it's been created for oneself, can be "selfish." Even the most self-centered art pieces, such as monuments of people, can provide benefit for other people. Or, it could just look really pretty and provide someone with inspiration for their own art. It's just the nature of art itself. I would say that your answer is C, "for spiritual, historical, or moral reasons, or for beauty and propaganda purposes," since all of these reasons have been exercised by many artists in the past.For your third question, I believe that your answer will be D, since prehistoric drawings were made in order to communicate stories and events, or represent certain things in the artist's life. Some can be dated, and while they can't necessarily be attributed to a particular person and were painted in caves a lot of the time, it's not the reason why they're called prehistoric. Art pieces can still go without a recognized artist and can still be done on the walls of caves, if that's your thing, and it wouldn't be considered prehistoric. For number four, I would say it's A, divine beings. Early humans ideated the existence of beings that could control or affect the outcomes that they experienced day in and day out in order to provide themselves with a sense of security and comfort. This was pretty much the birth of the idea of gods and religion and such. For your last question, I apologize that I can't say the answer with certainty. Based on my research, I was able to confirm that they are some of the oldest pieces of human art ever found, but I was unable to get consistent answers related to their ties with shamanism and evolution. I hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions if you have any. ?
