Explanation:

The painting shown is Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2, known for its repeating diagonal lines that visually convey the illusion of motion. The other options are incorrect: Golden Guards Descending is not a Duchamp work, Of the Blues is a different art piece, and Raft of the Medusa is by Géricault, not Duchamp. The diagonal lines create movement, not emphasis.

Answer:

b. (1) Nude Descending a Staircase; (2) movement
