I will go with C
The passage mentions realistic method developed from primitive beginning as permanent gain ...

ob · Answer

I think A is the answer. It says the revolution "deemphasized" realistic representation as the arts touchstone. In my opinion C is not right as it is too extreme: the revolution did not repudiate realism; lots of artists out there are realists.

anandnk · Answer

I did not know the meaning of repudiated , so looked up the dictionary.

repudiated - To refuse to recognize

I believe C is the answer.

Paul · Answer

I'm with C on this one. The conclusion says: It is one of the  permanent gains    that  we are rid  of this type of aesthetics. Now, that is pretty strong a statement to repudiate traditional art of the 19th century. A) is not strong enough as "deemphasization" would mean a shift of the criteria to evaluate traditional art to something else while clearly there is no such shift. The stem is plainly about getting  rid  of such artforms which C better expresses
