What will make one side feel visually heavier?

Correct answer: Large dark shape

Direct answer: B, a large dark shape. Visual weight is the amount of attention or importance an element seems to have in a composition. Size and value are important factors: a large form usually attracts more attention than a small one, and a dark form often appears heavier than a pale one. When both qualities occur together, as in a large dark shape, that side is likely to feel visually heavier. A small light dot may have some emphasis but normally carries less weight. C is incorrect because empty space has no filled form in this example; it may affect balance, but it is not the strongest answer here. D is incorrect because a faint thin line generally attracts less attention. Memory cue: large plus dark usually feels heavy; small plus pale usually feels light. Placement, colour, contrast, and detail can also modify weight, but B gives the clearest combined example.
