Which combination most effectively shows depth between foreground and background grass?

Correct answer: Large distinct strokes in the foreground and small light strokes in the background

The governing concept is linear and atmospheric depth. Objects in the foreground are represented with larger, sharper, darker, and more distinct marks, while distant objects use smaller, lighter, and less defined marks. Thus option B creates a convincing change in distance. Equal marks in A flatten the scene, C reverses the visual order, and D provides insufficient textural variation.
