Which answer gives the best message-based correction?

Correct answer: For a message of peace, reduce sharp zigzags and increase open space and cool, muted colours.

Direct answer: A is correct. A visual message is communicated through the combined effect of line, colour, space, shape, and arrangement. If the intended message is peace, sharp zigzag lines may create agitation, while open space allows the eye to rest. Cool, muted colours can support a calm mood when they suit the rest of the composition. Option A is therefore a correction because it identifies likely sources of tension and proposes specific changes. B is unsuitable because bright red and orange often attract attention and may suggest heat, urgency, or excitement rather than calmness; using only two colours is also too rigid. C makes the composition crowded, reducing visual rest. D adds complexity without solving the communication problem. Memory cue: improve a message by changing the element that conflicts with the intended mood, not by adding decoration automatically.
