Realism is a style of art that

a)depicts people or objects exactly as they appear in life
b)is characterized by brushstrokes of color painted side-by-side without blending
c)emphasizes emotion, feeling, and imagination
d)is embodied by the works of claude monet and edgar degas

A)depicts people or objects exactly as they appear in life
