having to do with artistic beauty; artistic

• A. Pragmatic
• B. Utilitarian
• C. Aesthetic
• D. Functional

Answer: (C)

This question tests your understanding of a word that captures beauty in art and taste. The word described is the one that directly means related to aesthetics—the sense of beauty and artistic quality.

Why this is the best fit: it precisely conveys concerns with beauty, style, and how something appeals to artistic sense, rather than just how useful or practical something is. In other words, it addresses artistic merit and visual or sensory appeal.

Pragmatic, utilitarian, and functional all focus on usefulness or practicality. Pragmatic centers on practicality and workable solutions; utilitarian emphasizes usefulness and function for the greatest good; functional means able to operate or serve a purpose. None of these touch on beauty or artistic judgment in the way the term in question does.

So the correct term aligns with artistic beauty and aesthetic sense, making it the right choice.
