Which technique uses an almost dry brush to create a subtle broken texture with acrylic paint?

Correct answer: Dry brush

The governing concept is dry-brush application. The artist loads a brush with a small amount of relatively thick paint, removes most excess, and drags it lightly across the surface. Paint catches only some raised areas, producing broken strokes and subtle texture. Option C is correct. A wash is fluid and broad, glazing uses a transparent layer, and dipping is not this controlled texturing method.
