The correct answer for 1 is with bold, geometric patterns in contrasting colors

This is how Kuba artists traditionally did it. What is mentioned in other possible answers was also common but in other parts of the continent, not among the Kuba people. The masks were colored with blue or red and geometric patterns like triangles were drawn.

The correct answer for 2 is They placed the oba in the center of the plaque and made him larger than the other figures.

This was done to point out how important he is. It is a common thing in religious art to arrange items like this and can even be seen worldwide and not just in Africa. It is a common way in art to address what is of the highest importance. The further away it is the less important it is.

The correct answer for 3 is A) Artists created lifelike portraits with idealized facial features.

They made sculptures of faces that were highly realistic and were designed to represent what the ideal beauty is or what an ideal face would look in that society. There was no makeup added, just carvings of faces. It was in idea similar to ancient Greek ideal of beauty.
