How can the main subject be made prominent using shape?

By making it larger or a different shape

Artists often make the main subject prominent by giving it a visual quality that separates it from the surrounding forms. Increasing its size is one direct method, because a larger shape usually receives more attention. Giving it a different shape is another method, because contrast makes it stand out from repeated or similar shapes around it. These methods help the viewer identify the focal point of the composition.

Choice A is correct because making the subject larger or differently shaped can create emphasis. Hiding the subject or erasing its shape would make it less noticeable, not more prominent. Keeping every shape the same can create unity, but it does not always highlight one particular subject. Therefore, size difference and shape contrast are more suitable tools when the goal is to make the main subject immediately noticeable.
