To determine if early cave paintings can be considered graphic design, let's break down the definition of graphic design and compare it to cave paintings.

Graphic design is the art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to convey information to an audience. It often involves creating visual compositions for commercial purposes, such as advertisements, logos, or websites.

When looking at cave paintings, we can see that they are two-dimensional and use symbols to convey meaning. The artists used various techniques to create visual representations on cave walls. While cave paintings may not have had a direct commercial purpose like modern graphic design, they can still be considered a form of visual communication that expresses meaning.

Based on this analysis, we can conclude that the statement "Yes, any art that expresses meaning is graphic design" is the most accurate answer. It recognizes that graphic design encompasses more than just commercial purposes and acknowledges the expressive nature of early cave paintings.
