In which situation can colour-based grouping give a wrong interpretation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Giving unrelated objects the same strong colour so that they look related
The visual principle of similarity makes viewers group objects that share a noticeable colour. If unrelated objects receive the same strong colour, viewers may infer a connection, category, or function that does not actually exist. This is a misleading interpretation. Shared colour is appropriate for genuinely related items, while a clear legend and consistent categories reduce confusion. Hence A is correct.
