What problem may occur if all shapes are crowded in one place?

The composition may look unbalanced and heavy

A composition needs a sensible distribution of visual weight. When many large, dark, or noticeable shapes are placed tightly in one area, that part attracts too much attention and may feel crowded. The remaining space can seem weak or empty, so the whole picture may lose balance. Overlapping forms may also become difficult to recognize. Good spacing and varied placement help the viewer read each shape more clearly.

Option A is correct because crowding all shapes together can make the composition look unbalanced and heavy. It does not automatically make the picture more open; in fact, it reduces open negative space in that area. Shapes do not necessarily become clear when crowded, and negative space usually decreases rather than increases. The problem is unequal distribution of visual weight.
