c.  Picture 1: low relief; Picture 2: freestanding sculpture; Picture 3: high relief

Explanation:

The first picture shows low relief. We can conclude that because low relief has a shallow depth, and the design that is sculptured is not coming out of the background too much. It is frequently for coins, medallions, etc, just like the example in the photo shows.

The second picture shows a free-standing statue. This kind of statue is completely threedimensional and not connected to the background. The viewer can see it from all the side. We see the couple on the statue freely standing, unattached from the wall, so we can know this is the free-standing statue.

The third picture is of high relief. High reliefs are more detached from the background than other types of relief statues. More than half of their mass is standing freely, and they have great depth. The relief on the third picture shows the army that looks as if it’s almost completely detached from the background. We can conclude because of the depth and shadows. Therefore, it is the high relief.
