Question

(1 point)

because they cannot be dated.

because they cannot be attributed to a particular artist.

because they were painted in a cave.

because the society that created them did not yet possess written language.

Explanation:

Prehistoric art is defined by the era it originates from, which is before the development of written language in a society. The other options are incorrect: prehistoric art can be dated using scientific methods, attribution to individual artists is not the defining factor, and not all prehistoric art is cave art.

Answer:

Because the society that created them did not yet possess written language.
