What can size gradation in a shape pattern create?

Illusion of depth, rhythm, and movement

Size gradation means changing the size of repeated shapes in a gradual sequence. Shapes may become smaller as they move away, or larger as they approach a focal area. This change can suggest near and far, growth, recession, or movement, even on a flat surface. Repeated changes also create rhythm because the eye follows the progression from one size to the next. The result depends on spacing and direction, but gradation is a strong visual cue.

Option A is correct because a gradual size change can create an illusion of depth, a rhythmic sequence, and a sense of movement or growth. It cannot produce the smell of paper or a sound, and it does not create only emptiness. For example, a row of circles that decreases toward the horizon may appear to recede into space. Therefore size gradation supports all three effects named in the first choice.
