The correct option is A
some smaller art galleries still exhibit creative new artwork

We need to find what they disagree upon.
The point of disagreement must be a common point of disagreement.
Let us look at the key elements of lea's and Susan's remark
Lea: Contemporary art = big business, no self expression, no spontaneity and creativity.
Evidence: visit any art gallery
Susan: Still find spontaneous, innovative new art work in most of small independent galleries.
So Susan talks only about creativity and small independent art galleries.
The correct answer option must limit its scope only to these two elements.
(c ) and (d) are wrong as they talk about contemporary art and Susan talks about creativity only
(b) is also wrong as it talks about galleries in general but Susan talks about small independent galleries
So the correct answer is (a)
