Answer
Brief Explanations:
In drypoint print - making, an artist draws on a metal plate with a tool called a needle. Aquatint uses acid to etch the plate, not just a needle for drawing directly. Engraving uses a burin (not a pick), and etching uses a needle but the term 'etching' is more about the acid - biting process after the drawing. Drypoint creates a burr when the needle scratches the metal.
Answer:
B. (1) aquatint; (2) needle
