Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a (Shadowing): Primarily about casting shadows, not focused on creating depth via value.
• Option b (Foreshortening): Deals with perspective to make objects appear closer/shorter, not value - based depth.
• Option c (Modeling): In art, modeling uses value (light and dark) to give the illusion of depth and three - dimensionality, matching the description.

C. Modeling
