How can empty space also contribute to balance in a picture?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can give breathing space and counterweight to filled areas
The governing concept is negative space, the unoccupied area surrounding or separating forms. Its size and placement influence how dense, open, or heavy the filled areas appear, so it can provide visual breathing room and act as a counterweight. Option A is correct. Empty space is not automatically harmful, invisible, or merely unused paper; it is an active part of composition.
