Why is texture important to identify material in a product drawing?

Correct answer: It tells whether an object is like wood, metal, cloth, or glass

The correct answer is D. Texture describes how a surface appears or feels, and this information helps us infer what material an object is made from. Wood may suggest grain, metal may appear smooth or reflective, cloth may show fibres or softness, and glass may look smooth and hard. In a product drawing, the artist uses marks, patterns, highlights, and surface details to communicate these differences. A is incorrect because texture does not erase hue; hue means the basic colour family. B is incorrect because texture does not end or remove space; space concerns areas, distance, and arrangement. C is incorrect because texture can be decorative, but it is not only decoration: it also gives useful information about material and use. Therefore D best explains its practical role. Memory cue: texture answers the question, “What might this surface be made of?”
