Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The classic Greco-Roman style of sculpture most closely associated with ancient Greco-Roman art was widely practiced until the third century. Accounts from Asian travelers describe these sculptures as being painted in bright primary colors. However, all surviving examples of art made in this style have no paint whatsoever, famously being stark-white marble. Nonetheless, it does not follow that the Asian accounts are therefore inaccurate regarding the painting of sculptures, as __________.
A. some accounts from Asian travelers also describe ancient Greco-Roman sculptures produced in other styles as being painted in bright primary colors
B. sculptures produced in this style are far more common in the erstwhile Roman empire than in Asia
C. only one other style of sculpture practiced today uses paints in the same manner as the Asian accounts described the Greco-Roman sculptures as having used
D. the Asian travelers’ accounts of ancient Greco-Roman statuary were written well before the third century
E. the paint used is made of plant pigments that begin to dissolve after a few centuries

Option E gives a direct account as to why the Asian accounts are NOT inaccurate because the paint itself began to dissolve after a few centuries.

classic GR style of was practiced until third century.
asian travelers describe these sculpture being painted in bright primary colors.
but all surviving art of this style has no paint.
asian accounts are not inaccurate regarding the painting of sculptures.
we need to find the reason why they were not wrong with their propositions.
A but thats not we are discussing here. reject.
B this is wrong comparison and has no impact. so reject.
C but that doesnt tell that those old painting were made of bright colors. so reject.
D this says when they wrote their notes but that doesnt resolve the paradox on why sculpture were of bright colors.
E if paint dissolved after few centuries then the current surviving paints may not be made with that paint. obviously they are without paint. so we cant make defined conclusion on that so asian travellers could be right as wll.
