Which option correctly states the medium-level goal of form study?

Understanding light, shadow, volume, and spatial relationships along with identifying basic forms

The governing concept is progression from simple recognition to applied visual understanding. At a medium level, a learner should not merely name a sphere, cube, cone, or cylinder. The learner should study how the form is constructed, how light reveals its planes or curves, how shadow supports volume, and how the object occupies space in relation to other objects. Option A is correct because it combines identification with practical analysis of light, shadow, volume, and spatial relationships. Option B tests only memory and is too limited. Option C is unrelated to form study, while option D is incorrect because form is understood through drawing and observation. The goal is application, not isolated definition.
