"Deliberately designed to be devoid of elaborate carving or other (i) _____, Biedermeier furniture was known for its (ii) _____."

Meaning: This furniture is devoid of carving or other decorations as it's known for its minimalism.

A- Customisation means act of modifying something to suit it better. Illogical here.
B- Embellishment means to adorn or decorate. Contextually fitting.
C- Sparseness means in short supply. Illogical.
D- Uniqueness means being one of a kind. Illogical.
E- Garnishes means to decorate. Opposite to what we want.
F- Simplicity means uncomplicated in form or design. Perfect fit.
