Why can classification be affected when context changes in art types?

Because the same art form may be viewed as private, folk, public, or applied art according to its purpose, audience, and setting

Art classification is governed not only by visible form or material but also by purpose, audience, location, ownership, and manner of use. The same visual design may function as private decoration in a home, a traditional folk pattern in a community ceremony, a public message on a wall, or an applied design on a useful product. Its context changes how people understand its role and therefore may change the most suitable category. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because visual features do not disappear. Option C is incomplete because materials alone cannot determine classification, while option D ignores the influence of setting and purpose.
