The answer is D - Splitting time between two pursuits in life often causes both to suffer.

Explanation:

Often times people work two or more jobs to meet ends. However, there could also be a disadvantage as splitting between two pursuits in life can cause both to suffer. This can be because there is not enough time dedicated for each job. Performance in both pursuits could also suffer if the individual ends up working too many hours each week and they will end up too tired or strained to give their best.

For the artist this can affect both his or her job in which they are getting paid and their inspiration or time needed for art.
