If a composition has too much variety and no repeating relation, what weakness will occur?

Visual unity may become weak

Variety gives a composition differences in shape, size, direction, or appearance. It can make artwork interesting, but too much variety without a repeated relationship can make the parts seem unrelated. Repetition provides a visual connection: similar shapes, colours, directions, or spacing help the eye understand that the elements belong to one design. Unity does not require every shape to be identical; it requires enough shared relationships to hold the composition together.

Option A is correct because excessive variety without repetition can weaken visual unity. The composition will not automatically become organized, and the viewer will not necessarily see a perfect pattern. Shape grouping may also become weak when forms have no connecting relationship. A strong design often balances variety with a unity cue, such as repeated colour, a common shape family, or a consistent direction. Therefore, A identifies the likely weakness.
