A distant object has light colours but very hard edges. Why will the sense of distance remain weak?
Correct answer: B
The governing concept is atmospheric and edge perspective. Distant forms are usually shown with reduced intensity, lower contrast, and softer or less sharply defined edges because intervening atmosphere weakens detail. If the colours are pale but the contours remain hard, the object still looks crisply outlined and visually closer. Option B is correct. Light colour alone is not enough, and paper smoothness or brush size does not explain the weak depth cue.
