Humpty Dumpty Circus is a landmark example of stop-motion animation. In this early film, toy figures and animals in a miniature circus are moved in small steps between exposures, so when the frames are played in sequence they appear to come alive. This frame-by-frame manipulation of real objects epitomizes the stop-motion method and it sits among the earliest demonstrations of the technique in cinema history.

The other options describe the method in general or are generic phrases rather than a specific early film title, so they don’t fit as the actual work being identified.
