Answer

Brief Explanations:

Aquatint is a printmaking technique where the artist uses a process that creates areas of tone similar to ink or watercolor washes. It involves creating a granulated surface on a metal plate (usually copper) which holds ink in a way that mimics the soft, blended look of washes. Lithography is more about using chemical processes on a flat stone or plate for printing. Mezzotint creates a velvety tone through a process of roughening the plate. Drypoint is an intaglio technique that creates lines by scratching the plate.

D. aquatint
