What is the importance of spacing in creating rhythm?

Correct answer: Spacing controls the pace of visual movement

The governing concept is that rhythm depends not only on repeated forms but also on the intervals between them. When elements are placed close together, the visual beat can feel quicker; when the gaps are wider, the movement can feel slower and more open. Spacing therefore controls visual pace and emphasis. It does not itself change colour or erase shapes, so option A is correct.
