How can empty space become a counterbalance in an asymmetrical composition?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It can balance weight by providing a calm visual area opposite a busy area
The governing concept is asymmetrical balance, in which unlike elements can still achieve visual stability. Empty or negative space reduces visual activity on one side and gives the eye room to rest; its size, position, and relationship to a busy mass affect the perceived weight of the whole composition. Therefore option A is correct. Negative space is not automatically an error, and balance does not require identical objects on both sides.
