The correct answer is B.

The correct option is B.

Rockfeller asked Diego to make an artistic work for the lobby of the RCA building. The final work which Diego presented contained the portrait of Vladimir Lehin although this was not part of the contract arrangement. Vladimir Lenin was an hated politician, who is synonymous with communism and Rockefeller did not share the political ideas of this man at all, because of this Rockefeller asked Diego to remove the artwork; the artist refused and the artwork was eventually destroyed.
