if a work of art is a counterfeit, which of the following must be true? base your answer on the meaning of counterfeit.
a. it is made of valuable materials.

b. it is not cheaply or carelessly done.

c. it is not actually what it appears to be.

d. it is imaginative but bizarre in its design.

Explanation:

The word "counterfeit" means something that is made to imitate or fake another thing, especially to deceive. So a counterfeit work of art is not actually what it appears to be (e.g., a fake painting pretending to be an original). Option A is incorrect because counterfeits can be made of cheap materials. Option B is wrong as counterfeits can be done cheaply or carelessly. Option D is not related to the meaning of counterfeit.

Answer:

C. It is not actually what it appears to be.
