Which option correctly explains the relationship between shape and texture?

An irregular stone shape with rough texture makes the object believable

Shape and texture provide different but connected kinds of information. Shape tells us the outer boundary, outline, and general structure of an object. Texture suggests how its surface appears or might feel, such as rough, smooth, grainy, or uneven. When these clues agree, the object becomes more believable to the viewer. An irregular outline combined with a rough surface can therefore make a pictured stone look convincing.

Option A is correct because the stone’s uneven shape and rough texture support the same visual idea. Option B is too absolute and does not make every smooth circle a stone. Option C is false because shape and texture can reinforce each other, while option D wrongly limits shape to sound rather than visual form. The supplied answer and explanation are consistent.
