If the main subject is too close to the edge which principle is affected?

Balance and visual flow

Placement of the main subject strongly affects composition. When the subject is pushed too close to an edge, the viewer’s attention may be directed out of the picture instead of through it. The empty space around the subject may also become uneven, making the work feel unstable or cramped. Artists consider the subject’s position, surrounding space, direction of movement, and visual weight when creating balance and a pleasing flow.

Option A is correct because both balance and visual flow can be disturbed by edge placement. Hue is the name of a colour family and is not determined by where an object is placed, so option B is unrelated. Actual texture concerns how a surface feels or appears to feel, not primarily its position, making C unsuitable. The price of paper has no connection with composition, so D is clearly incorrect.
