The correct answer is C. Mixed media is a relatively new technique in the art world.

In visual arts, mixed media is a work in which the artist uses at least two different mediums.

In painting, we speak of mixed media when the colored matter comprises at least two binders of different nature or heterogeneous materials. In the history of pictorial art, artists have often mixed materials to achieve their ends. The term "mixed media" refers to cases where the documentation of any process does not adequately represent the work that is being characterized.

Each technique offers the artist expressive possibilities, which he exploits as he pleases, and chooses according to his personality. Such an approach may lead to the exploration of new forms of art (for example, a painter who becomes a sculptor).
