D. "The artist made the lines bold and covered the majority of the vessel with them."

By making the lines bold and extensive, the artist draws attention to them and ensures that they are the central focus of the piece. The contrast between the bold black lines and the orange background also helps to emphasize the lines even more.
To determine this answer, you need to closely examine the photograph of the decorative clay vase. Look for bold, prominent lines that cover a significant portion of the vessel. Pay attention to how the lines stand out against the background and how they may draw your attention. Also, consider the overall composition and how the lines interact with the other elements of the vase.
