select the correct answer.
why was the camera obscura developed?
a. because the renaissance artists desired to create art that was close to real life
b. because the technique of perspective used to create true - to - life images was hard to master
c. because of a new trend toward using scientific techniques to aid the creation of art

Explanation:

The camera obscura gained popularity during the Renaissance as artists sought to create highly realistic, lifelike artworks. It projected accurate, real-world scenes that artists could trace or use as a reference to achieve naturalistic perspective and detail, aligning with their goal of art that closely mirrored reality. Option B is incorrect because the camera obscura helped with perspective, not because perspective was hard to master. Option C is too broad; the direct driver was the desire for realistic art, not just a general scientific trend in art.

Answer:

A. because the Renaissance artists desired to create art that was close to real life
