Correct answer: B. It teaches understanding signs, colour, form, and composition

Visual literacy is the ability to read, interpret, evaluate, and use visual messages. Art strengthens this ability by teaching learners to notice signs, colour relationships, line, shape, form, space, contrast, emphasis, and composition. These skills help people understand maps, diagrams, advertisements, symbols, interfaces, posters, packaging, and images encountered in daily life. Option B is correct because it identifies the visual elements that carry meaning and shows how art supports interpretation. Option A is the opposite of visual literacy, C denies meaning in images, and D confuses visual communication with sound-based communication.
