When can silence also become expression in art?

Correct answer: When silence is used to show a feeling or idea

Silence can function as an artistic sign when its presence, pause, emptiness, or deliberate absence helps communicate a feeling or idea. For example, an unoccupied space may suggest loneliness, a pause in a performance may create tension, and a quiet scene may express grief or reflection. Option A is correct because the silence has meaning through its context and relationship with the rest of the work. Removing all colours does not automatically create meaningful silence, and an unseen artwork cannot communicate effectively. Art without meaning is not a necessary condition for silence to be expressive.
