Solution
The correct option is C Departed
Option C is the correct answer because 'departed' is the most contextually appropriate way to indicate that Kingman had deviated from the tradition of Chinese landscape painting in a number of ways. The word is often used to mean to deviate from (an accepted, prescribed, or usual course of action).Options A, B and D are incorrect because while 'vacated', 'evacuated' and 'retired' do offer some sense of 'leaving', it would be awkward and unconventional to say that that a person was 'vacating'/ 'evacuating'/'retiring' from a tradition in a number of ways. 'Vacated' means to leave or give up a place, 'evacuated' means removed from a place so as to avert danger and 'retired' means leaving one's job or (of a person) uncommunicative.
