Impressionism

Impressionism was "born" in 1874 when an art critic reviewed the exhibition of several artists at Nader's photography studio in Paris. Very unimpressed with Monet's 1872 printing entitled "Impression Sunrise", the critic used the term impression and later the word impressionist derogatorily. The name stuck and was worn almost as a badge of honor by the artists who used methods and style similar to Monet's, and Monet became known as the Father of Impressionism. One might think that this radical departure from the accepted norm raised full blown in Monet and that his comrades merely followed his lead. This oversimplification is natural for laypersons, but it is akin to saying Darwin discovered evolution or Freud discovered the unconscious mind while all three men are indisputably tied to the concepts with which we identify them, their true genius and claim to being discovered or "Father of??¦" lies more in their ability to synthesize rather than to create.

Which of the following most accurately summarizes the opinion of the author in the text

a) Monet became known as the Father of Impressionism after a critic reviewed 1874 exhibition in Paris.b) Monet's genius, like that of Darwin or Freud, lies more in the ability to synthesize than in the ability to create.c) Oversimplification is natural for the layperson viewing Monet's art.
