Which option gives the correct difference between fine art and applied art?

Fine art may stress expression and applied art may stress useful design

Fine art and applied art are both genuine forms of art, but their usual primary emphasis differs. Fine art often gives priority to aesthetic experience, imagination, emotion, or personal and social expression. Applied art uses artistic decisions—such as form, colour, typography, materials, and composition—to meet a practical purpose, for example in product design, posters, furniture, clothing, or visual communication. Option A is correct because it describes these tendencies without making them absolute rules. Fine art can have practical effects, and applied art can be expressive and beautiful. Options B, C, and D are false because they deny beauty, usefulness, or the artistic character of one or both categories.
