Which method is more mature for maintaining shape unity in a composition?

Keeping controlled variation among related shapes

Shape unity means that the different shapes in a composition should look connected and should support one visual idea. Unity does not require every shape to be identical. A mature composition combines order with variety, so the viewer can see a relationship among the shapes without feeling that the design is dull or mechanically repeated.

Option A is correct because controlled variation keeps related shapes similar in important ways while allowing useful differences in size, direction, proportion, or detail. This creates both harmony and visual interest. Keeping every shape unrelated weakens unity, removing all shapes destroys the composition, and repeating one shape without purpose creates monotony rather than thoughtful design.
