why were many early sculptures portable (meaning able to be easily carried)?
○ a. clay was rare, so artists could not use much clay in their work
○ b. clay was considered a sacred material, as man was formed from clay in many creation stories, so only priests were allowed to own them and they must remain small to be easily carried.
○ c. many of these societies at the time were still nomadic; small sculptures could be moved as their tribes or families moved.

Explanation:

Early societies were often nomadic. Portable sculptures could be moved as people migrated. Option a is about clay - rarity which isn't related to portability. Option b has no basis in the reason for portability.

Answer:

C. Many of these societies at the time were still nomadic; small sculptures could be moved as their tribes or families moved.
