Explanation:

(a) is the correct answer choice.
Para 4 discusses how each deals with ‘reality’ on canvas:-
(i) Representational artist: What he sees with his eyes – he reproduces on canvas.
(ii) Abstract artist: What he feels about what his eyes see – he interprets on canvas.
Option (b) is incorrect as nowhere in the passage does the author talk about one being superior to the other. The author’s point of view is that the critics of abstract art fail to see its merit, both forms are different and have their own merits.
Options (c) and (d) are irrelevant to the question asked. (c) is refuted in the passage and (d) is rather a tall claim. (a) is a lopsided observation.
