In which condition will shape simplification be useful?

To understand a complex object through basic shapes

Shape simplification means reducing a complicated object to a few basic forms so that its main structure is easier to see. For example, a bottle may begin as a cylinder, a box as a rectangle, and a house as rectangles and triangles. This method helps an artist plan size, position, proportion, and perspective before spending time on small details. Simplification does not mean destroying the object’s identity; it is a useful first stage of observation and drawing.

Option A is correct because it says that a complex object can be understood through basic shapes. The sensible process is to identify the main forms first, check their arrangement, and then add details, texture, and shading. Filling details without structure can make a drawing confused, while making the object unrecognizable defeats the purpose. Paper price is unrelated to shape simplification.
