Accurate answer is (b) It can be easily peeled off from layout

Simplify with an easy explanation: For photographic purpose, artwork should not contain any line drawing but must be of alternate clear and opaque region. The red layer can be easily peeled off thus exposing clear areas with a knife edge from regions where impurities have to be diffused.
