Balance

The governing concept is dynamic balance, often associated with contrapposto. When the shoulder line and hip line tilt in opposite directions, the body avoids a rigid vertical pose; the pelvis shifts, the supporting leg carries weight, and the torso suggests natural movement. Therefore option A is correct. Perfect symmetry would require matching balance, while flatness and lack of depth are opposite to the three-dimensional action created by these contrasting tilts.

The governing concept is visual weight in asymmetrical balance. Size is important, but darkness, contrast, placement, and density also affect how heavy a shape appears. A small dark form can therefore counterbalance a much larger pale form, making option A correct. Small shapes do have visual weight, light forms are not always heavier, and asymmetrical balance is fully possible through careful placement.
