If the main figure has light lines and the background has very dark lines, what will happen to visual hierarchy?

The background may attract more attention than the main figure

The governing concept is visual hierarchy, which directs attention by varying emphasis among parts of a composition. Darker, heavier, or more strongly contrasted lines normally attract the eye before lighter lines. If the background is drawn with very dark lines while the central figure is drawn lightly, the intended order of attention may reverse: the background can compete with or dominate the subject. Option B is correct because it describes this likely effect. Option A would be more plausible only if the figure had the stronger line contrast. Option C ignores the perceptual effect of line weight, and D incorrectly assumes that balance happens automatically without deliberate control.
