What limitation occurs if every value on a shiny object is softly blended?

Correct answer: Sharp reflections of the shiny surface will weaken

Shiny surfaces are recognized through clear transitions between reflected light, bright highlights, and darker areas. If every value is blended softly, the hard boundaries of reflections disappear, so the material may look dull, matte, or unclear rather than polished. Soft blending can still be useful for gradual curvature, but it should not replace every sharp edge. It cannot correct proportion or automatically clarify shadow direction. Therefore option B is correct.
