Why is depending only on the name of an art form a weak method of classification?

Because the name does not always reveal medium, process, and context

A label or name is useful as a starting point, but it may not provide enough information for accurate classification. Two works may share a name while differing in medium, method, scale, function, audience, cultural background, or setting. Conversely, one work may combine features of several art forms. Option A is correct because medium, process, and context help explain what the work actually is and how it operates. Names are used, so B is false. Every artwork involves choices and a process, even when the process is simple, making C incorrect. Context is not automatically wrong; it often adds essential meaning, so D is also false. Good classification examines the name together with observable features and purpose.
