Through which work can an artist reach new customers?

Correct answer: Online promotion and selling

The direct answer is A: online promotion and selling. A visual artist can reach new customers by displaying artwork online, describing the products clearly, sharing photographs or videos, accepting enquiries, and arranging digital or supported sales. The internet can connect a local artist with buyers outside the immediate neighbourhood, so it expands the potential market. This is especially useful when traditional art needs wider recognition and better access to customers. Option A is correct because it both communicates with possible buyers and provides a route for selling. Option B, hiding art items, prevents people from seeing, understanding, or buying the work, so it reduces market reach. Option C, never meeting customers, removes an important opportunity to learn their needs and build trust; although every sale need not require a face-to-face meeting, refusing all customer contact is not a way to reach new buyers. Option D, stopping production, leaves no product to display or sell and therefore cannot expand the customer base. The reasoning is: new customers must first learn about the artwork; online promotion gives visibility; online selling gives access to purchase; therefore it is the useful work. Exam cue: digital marketing widens reach, while hiding, avoiding contact, or stopping production narrows it.
