Texture

The governing concept is texture integrated with form and light. A woven basket has repeated surface marks, but those marks must change in scale, darkness, spacing, and visibility as the surface turns and receives light. Therefore option A is correct. Equal dark marks flatten the object, an outer contour cannot communicate woven material, and smooth blending removes the characteristic rough pattern. Texture should support the value structure rather than compete with it.

The governing concept is texture integrated with form and lighting. Wood grain is a surface pattern, so its darkness should respond to the plane’s direction, illumination, and turning. If every mark is equally dark, the texture competes with the light-and-shadow structure and makes the surface look flat or pasted on. Option D is correct. Uniform grain does not alter proportion, guarantee correct line weight, or clarify the background.

The governing design concept is visual hierarchy: texture attracts attention and gives an area greater visual weight. Thick impasto should therefore be placed selectively around the focal subject, where it can support emphasis without making every part equally dominant. Option C is correct. Applying the same heavy texture everywhere removes hierarchy, while restricting it to the background or every edge does not reliably strengthen the intended focal point.

The governing concept is texture created by directional marks. Strokes radiating outward from a centre suggest fibres, bristles, rays, or another surface whose structure spreads from a central point. They do not normally communicate the uninterrupted reflection of glass, the still plane of calm water, or completely flat metal. Therefore, the fibrous or radiating surface is the most suitable interpretation of the stated stroke pattern.
