Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Great Wave makes a statement about scale because everyone in Japan knows the scale of Mount Fuji, which is the mountain depicted in the background of the image. While the print's height (A) and the use of black-and-white (B) may also be factors, they are not as directly related to the statement about scale as the presence of Mount Fuji. Therefore, C is the best choice.
