Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
Silk screen printing is a printmaking technique in which ink is transferred through a mesh screen onto a surface. This technique is also known as: \[ \text{Serigraphy} \] The word “Serigraphy” comes from: \[ \text{Seri} = \text{Silk} \] \[ \text{Graphy} = \text{Writing or drawing} \]

Step 1: Understand silk screen technique.
In silk screen printing, a stencil is prepared on a screen. Ink is pushed through the open areas of the screen onto paper, cloth, canvas or another surface.

Step 2: Identify the correct technical term.
The technical name of silk screen printing is: \[ \text{Serigraphy} \] It is commonly used in modern printmaking and graphic art.

Step 3: Check the other options.
Planography is related to flat-surface printing. Lithography is printing from stone or metal plate. Viscosity printing is related to different ink viscosities. Therefore, these are not the correct terms for silk screen printing.

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Serigraphy}} \]
