Explanation: ( Couldnot find one, might be helpful to others )
'Young artists received her patronage ( which means support )' indicates that she was a friend of the arts.
A connoisseur enjoys the art, doesn't necessarily provide patronage.

Queen Elizabeth I has quite correctly been called a (i) _______ of the arts, because many young artists received her patronage.

This is a tricky sentence, as it hopes to trap you with the common expression "connoisseur of arts".

But the sentence clearly states that many young artists received her patronage. So she can be a patron of arts, or one who supports artists.

Only Choice C, friend, comes closest in meaning to patron or supporter. Hence it is the correct choice.
