In which situation can negative space also appear like a positive shape?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When the empty area creates a clearly recognizable shape
Negative space is the area around or between visible forms, but it can become visually active when its boundary creates a recognizable outline. If the empty region clearly resembles a symbol, figure, or geometric form, the viewer may perceive it almost like a positive shape. Option A is correct. A completely blank page, an undefined object, or removing a brush does not create a meaningful, identifiable negative shape.
