Which design quality can be created by mirroring a shape?

Symmetry

Mirroring means placing a shape as if it were reflected across a line or central axis. When the reflected shape is arranged carefully, the two sides show correspondence or equality. This visual relationship is called symmetry. Symmetry can make a design feel organised, stable, formal, and balanced, although the exact effect also depends on spacing, size, and position.

Option A is correct because a mirror arrangement is a common way to create symmetry. Invisibility, sound, and paper thickness are not design qualities produced by reflecting a shape. For instance, if the left half of a pattern is reflected on the right, matching parts appear on both sides. A mirror arrangement may be nearly or exactly symmetrical, but its central idea is still balance through correspondence.
