What effect is created when lines are far apart?

Light tone

The governing concept is tonal control through the spacing of lines. When lines are drawn far apart, larger areas of the paper remain visible between the marks. The eye therefore reads the collection as less dense, and the shaded area generally appears lighter. Hence, option A is correct. This is the opposite of close hatching, where reduced gaps create a denser and darker tone. The word “always” makes the black-tone option especially unsuitable, because wide spacing does not normally produce a solid dark appearance. Lines cannot create sound, and an invisible boundary is not the expected visual result. The exact value also depends on pencil pressure, line thickness, and the colour of the paper, but spacing alone gives the reliable basic rule: wider gaps usually mean a lighter visual tone.
