Explanation:

Flemish painting (from the Flanders region, part of Northern Renaissance art) is known for its detailed realism (like in works of Van Eyck, Bruegel) while also incorporating symbolic elements (e.g., religious symbols, allegorical meanings in still lifes or portraits). Option b is wrong as it was realistic. Option c is wrong as Flemish art was representational (depicted real - world subjects). Option a correctly states it was both symbolic and realistic.

A. the art was both symbolic and realistic
