How can an empty area also create balance in asymmetrical balance?

It can give visual rest and balance a heavy part with light weight

Asymmetrical balance does not require identical objects or equal shapes on both sides. Instead, it balances different visual weights. A large dark or detailed form may be balanced by a smaller bright form, a group of marks, or even open space. An empty area can provide visual rest and prevent the composition from feeling crowded. Its size and position influence how the eye experiences the weight of the occupied areas.

Choice A is correct because negative space can counter a heavy area by giving the composition breathing room and a sense of stability. The other choices treat empty space as useless or deny its role, while “hue” means a colour family and is not the correct description. Thus, asymmetrical balance depends on the relationship among occupied space, open space, size, contrast, and placement.
