c. work independently of the text.
d. offer a different perspective on the information

C. work independently of the text.

Explanation:

The technical writing is a more elaborate and formal text. It differs from literary essays, because they are objective and impartial, in addition to using denotative language.

In this type of writing the images must pass a message, either through graphics, that make the cold accuracy of the numbers something attractive, or in the development of an explanatory image, that will give life to concepts of a product or company. What is important is that these images work independently of the text.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
