Which value is used to show a darker shadow?

Correct answer: Dark value

Direct answer: B, dark value. Value in art means the lightness or darkness of a colour, tone or mark. A shadow receives less direct light, so the artist represents it with a darker value than the illuminated part. A is wrong because a light value is used for a lit surface or highlight. C can be useful for a middle or transitional area between light and shadow, but it is not the best choice for showing the darker shadow itself. D is wrong because intensity describes how vivid or muted a colour is, not how light or dark it is. A dark value may be made with a darker pigment, stronger mark, or controlled shading, depending on the medium. Memory cue: light side uses light value; shadow side uses dark value; the gradual middle value helps show the turning surface.
