Answer:
C. Emotionalism
Explanation:
Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" was made in 1942. It's an oil painting that's considered to be one of the most popular paintings in the American art. You can even find movies or cartoons inspired by it.
The painting represents "Emotionalism" because it was painted during such time when people in New York felt scared by being attacked by the Nazis. So, there were times when people would intentionally turn off the street lights causing darkness. The diner in the painting shows such situation. The environment outside is dark while the diner is the only one brightly lit. Such brightness showed people that, somehow, there was hope for them even during such trial times. So this evokes emotion and a bit of loneliness. The four people in the image shows unrelated people who would come to seek for hope by going to the diner. They are at least trying to reconnect with each other.
