E . the artist convey messages only through lines.

OA is D

OE: Argument talks about usage of direction of lines that convey some information to the viewers.

Argument doesn't mention about explaining meaning of various art forms. It rathers convey some information by the usage of various lines forms. So Option A, C and E are out. B is already stated in the passage.
