Explanation:

Formalist art criticism focuses on the formal elements (like design relationships, composition, unity) of a work. Option A is about contrasting elements, which is not the core of formalism. Option B is subjective opinion, which formalism avoids. Option D is about different uses of art elements, but formalism emphasizes the overall unity from design relationships. Option C matches as formalists judge based on how design relationships create a unified, visually pleasing work.
