In which option is line used to show texture?

Correct answer: Short, dense strokes for hair

Correct answer: A, short dense strokes for hair. Texture means how a surface appears or feels, such as smooth, rough, furry, or hair-like. Lines can suggest texture when their length, direction, spacing, and repetition resemble the surface being shown. Many short strokes placed close together can make hair appear fine, dense, and fibrous. A is correct because the repeated strokes imitate the direction and concentration of strands. B is incorrect because empty space does not itself show a hair or surface pattern. C is incorrect because a colour name gives colour information, not a line-made texture. D is incorrect because a single frame edge usually marks a boundary rather than describing a surface. The same principle can be adapted: curved repeated lines may suggest wood grain, while broken marks may suggest roughness. Memory cue: texture is suggested by the character and repetition of marks, not merely by the object’s name.
