4. (d) Only (a) and (b)
5. (e) Only (b) and (c)

Correct answer: (e) Only (b) and (c)

Solution

The correct choice is the one that matches Alpers’ interpretation of Rembrandt as working within the patronage system and responding to the art market. The statement about a firm belief in the originality of each artwork is not part of that argument.
