In which situation does art become a medium of social criticism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it creatively presents social problems, injustice, or contradictions
The governing concept is the social function of art. Art becomes social criticism when it does more than provide decoration or private pleasure and instead draws attention to a social problem, unequal treatment, injustice, prejudice, exploitation, or contradiction. It may use satire, documentary imagery, symbols, drama, posters, performance, or an emotionally powerful narrative. The purpose is not necessarily to give a complete political solution; it can make an issue visible and encourage questioning or empathy. Option C is correct because it describes creative presentation of social concerns. A concerns colour alone, B removes ideas, and D contradicts the reflective role of criticism.
