Answer:
The right answer is option "D" which is "etching".
Explanation:
Etching is the most similar to drawing out of all the given options of intaglio printmaking forms.
In etching, an artist covers a metal plate with an acid resistant layer of ground instead of sculptured directly into plate, here in etching the artist draws into the ground, revealing small areas of exposed metal underneath. The plate is then submerged into acid bath. The acid ewears away at the exposed metal, creating grooved lines in the shape of drawn image. Grooves will be more deeper if the plate remains in the acid for the longer time and hence more ink they will hold. Now that the metal's plate bears the artist image, it can be pressed and the image can be transferred to paper.
Hence this is why etching is regarded as most similar to drawing out of the given intagila printmaking forms.
