Hey! I was also going between A and E, but I ended up choosing A because the last sentence of the prompt says 'An artwork's artistic merit can depend on the person who creates it or the one who evaluates it'. Earlier in the prompt it states that the critic's opinion can influence pleasure one takes in the art - so if the critic can influence an artwork's artistic merit - the merit must be determined by pleasure one takes in it, which is how I landed on A. I don't know if this makes sense but that was just my thought process!
