Explanation
Answer - D - Typically, the largest feature on an African figure is the head.

Key Takeaway: Although there are a huge number of unique sculpture traditions in Africa, there are a great number of similarities, one of which is the heads of figures. Typically, the heads of African figures are disproportionately large-sometimes running as much as one-third of the entire figure. The reproductive organs on these features are also usually enlarged, with the bodies being extremely small.
