Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Amarna style in art is characterized by physical distortion, with elongated and exaggerated body features. The poses and situations portrayed in Amarna style art were generally more relaxed and informal, deviating from the formal traditions of previous Egyptian art. However, the Amarna period did not show respect for royal tradition, as it was marked by a significant break from the traditional polytheistic religion and the promotion of monotheism by Pharaoh Akhenaten. Therefore, option D is incorrect.
