Einstein's mother encouraged him towards which art?

Correct answer: Music

The governing connection is between Einstein’s mother and his early musical training. She encouraged him to learn and practise the violin, so the art connected with her encouragement was music. Consequently, option A is correct. The question is not asking which art Einstein studied in general or which art appears in another character’s story; it asks specifically about his mother’s influence. Drama, painting and dance are reasonable forms of art, but none is the activity identified in this biography. Her encouragement helped him retain a lifelong love of music, and the violin later became a familiar part of his identity alongside his scientific work.
