Which line use may lead the viewer's eye out of the picture?

Correct answer: Uncontrolled lines moving toward the edge

Correct answer: A, uncontrolled lines moving toward the edge. Lines act like visual paths: the viewer’s eye tends to follow their direction. If several strong or uncontrolled lines travel toward the edge of the composition and do not lead back to the subject, the eye may continue out of the picture. This weakens visual control and can make the composition feel unfinished. A is correct because both the outward direction and lack of control encourage the eye to leave. B is wrong because lines returning toward the centre bring attention back into the composition. C is wrong because enclosing lines usually hold attention around the main subject. D is wrong because balanced circular lines generally guide the eye around an area rather than directly out of the frame. The result also depends on emphasis, contrast, and placement, so the statement is a common compositional tendency, not an absolute rule. Memory cue: outward lines are visual exits; returning lines are visual paths back in.
