What can repeated use of circular shapes suggest in a peaceful design?

Harmony, softness, and continuity

Circular shapes have no sharp corners and move smoothly around their boundary. When they are repeated in a peaceful design, this smoothness can make the arrangement feel gentle, connected, balanced, and continuous. Repetition also creates rhythm, while the absence of points may reduce a sense of visual aggression. Meaning is never completely fixed: colour, size, spacing, and surrounding forms can change the mood. Still, the suggested effect in this context is calm harmony.

Option A is correct because harmony, softness, and continuity are reasonable visual associations of repeated circles in a peaceful composition. Circles do not always mean danger or sharp conflict, since those ideas are more often supported by pointed, jagged, or strongly opposing forms. Mechanical strictness and visual noise are not necessary results either. The wording “peaceful design” guides the interpretation, so the smooth repeated form should be connected with a calm and unified effect.
