Solution

The correct option is C I studied the paintings of Pablo Picasso, a great artist.
Two noun phrases put side by side in a clause to describe the same person or thing is called apposition. Here, Pablo Picasso and "a great artist" refer to the same person. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
