What helps show a form resting on the ground?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cast shadow and contact shadow
The governing concept is grounding through cast and contact shadows. A cast shadow falls from the object onto the supporting surface in the direction controlled by the light, while a contact shadow is the darker, tighter area where the object meets that surface. Together they show light direction, weight, and the point of support, preventing the form from appearing to float. Therefore option A is correct. A title, paper smell, or frame colour may belong to presentation, but none gives reliable visual evidence that the object touches the ground.
