Which is a correct example of creating surface rhythm with line?

Repeated flowing lines in cloth folds

Surface rhythm in art is created when lines repeat in an organised way and guide the viewer’s eye across a surface. The repeated lines may have a common direction, spacing, curve, or movement. In cloth folds, flowing lines recur along the folds and show how the fabric bends and falls. This repetition creates a visible visual beat, much like rhythm in music.

Option A is correct because the lines are repeated, directional, and connected with the form of the cloth. Erasing every fold removes the lines instead of creating rhythm. Identical flower-like marks on stone may be a pattern, but they do not necessarily express the surface’s natural movement. Purposeless blurry lines lack clear organisation. Therefore, repeated flowing lines in cloth folds are the strongest example.
