How can balance be created in an asymmetrical composition?

By balancing the visual weight of different shapes

Asymmetrical balance means that the two sides of a composition are not identical, yet the whole design still feels stable. Stability can come from the visual weight of shapes, which depends on their size, position, colour, contrast, detail, and distance from the centre. A large quiet shape may balance several smaller or brighter shapes, for example.

Exact matching on both sides would create symmetrical balance, but it is not required for an asymmetrical composition. The artist compares how strongly each part attracts the eye and adjusts the arrangement until neither side feels unnecessarily heavy. Removing all shapes or changing only the frame does not solve the composition. Therefore, option A is correct because balance is achieved by arranging different visual weights thoughtfully.
