Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A linocut is a relief print created out of a sheet of linoleum, which is a softer and easier-to-carve material compared to woodcuts. It is a popular technique in printmaking. Choice A, woodcut, refers to a relief print created out of a block of wood. Choice C, linograph, and choice D, intarsia, are not commonly used terms in printmaking. Choice E, planography, refers to a type of printing where the image is printed from a flat surface (such as a lithograph or monotype) and is not a relief print.
