What does shape simplification mean in an artwork?

Showing a complex object through simple basic shapes

Shape simplification means reducing a complicated subject to a few clear and understandable parts. An artist may look at a bottle, tree, person, or building and first identify circles, rectangles, triangles, or other basic shapes. This does not mean destroying the subject or removing all its features. It means keeping the important structure while leaving out unnecessary detail, so the object is easier to draw, read, or design.

Option A is correct because it directly describes showing a complex object through simple basic shapes. Removing shape completely would make visual construction impossible, while making every shape unreadable would reduce communication. Drawing only a frame does not explain simplification. The useful process is to break the subject into basic shapes and then add details or shading when needed.
