How does making the far edge of an object as dark as the near edge affect depth?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Depth distinction may weaken
The governing concept is edge hierarchy as a tool for suggesting depth. In many drawings, the nearer edge receives stronger or darker emphasis, while a farther edge is softened, lightened, or given less contrast. This difference helps the viewer separate foreground from background and read the spatial recession of the object. If both edges are equally dark and equally emphatic, that hierarchy is reduced; the far edge may come forward visually and the distinction between near and far can weaken. Therefore option A is correct. Depth does not always increase, the object does not disappear, and economical line use does not arise automatically from equal edge weight.
