Which option correctly relates form and texture?

Texture can show the surface quality of a form

The governing concept is that form describes an object’s three-dimensional body, while texture describes how its surface appears or feels. A single form may have a smooth, rough, grainy, shiny, or soft-looking surface, so texture helps the viewer understand the character of that form. Option A is correct because it accurately connects texture with the surface quality of a three-dimensional object. Option B is false: texture normally adds information rather than making form invisible. Option C confuses a visual or tactile quality with smell, which is not texture. Option D is also false because texture specifically concerns the surface. In a drawing, controlled marks, value changes, and repeated patterns can suggest texture without changing the object’s basic volume.
