Which can be a simple example of symmetrical balance?

Correct answer: Both wings of a butterfly

The direct answer is D, both wings of a butterfly. Symmetrical balance means that two sides of a design are the same or very nearly the same in size, shape, colour, or visual weight, often as if one side were reflected in a mirror. A butterfly gives an easy example because its left and right wings usually correspond closely around the central body. Option A is not symmetrical: a heavy object on one side and empty space on the other creates unequal visual weight, unless carefully balanced in another way. Option B, unrelated shapes, gives no clear matching relationship and therefore does not itself show symmetry. Option C, a completely scattered composition, has irregular placement rather than a mirror-like arrangement. Option D is correct because the wings form corresponding left and right parts. The word “symmetrical” does not mean that every natural object is perfectly identical; “almost similar” is enough for a simple example. Exam cue: look for a central line and matching parts on both sides. Do not confuse general balance with symmetrical balance.
