Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Martin Schongauer, a master of the engraving technique during the Renaissance, did not use the method described in D, which pertains to etching, not engraving. In engraving, an artist incises or cuts lines directly into a metal plate with a tool called a burin, as opposed to etching where lines are drawn through an acid-resistant coating and then etched into the plate with acid.
