Explanation
Answer: C - One effect of prioritizing European art during the modern Atlantic world period from 1400 CE to 1850 CE was that the “Old World” was considered in opposition to the “New World.”

By prioritizing and privileging European art, a binary relationship between “old” and “new” was created during this time period. One effect was the art of the “Old World” was considered to be oppositional or antithetical rather than a part of the global evolution of art.
