Which option helps create focus through shape grouping?

Arranging small shapes toward the main large shape

Grouping shapes can guide attention by creating a visual path. If several small shapes are arranged toward or around a larger main shape, the eye often follows their direction and reaches that important area. Repetition, spacing, size changes, and direction can all strengthen this focus. The large shape does not have to be exactly in the centre; what matters is that the arrangement makes its importance easy to notice.

Option A is correct because arranging small shapes toward the main large shape creates a clear directional relationship and can lead the viewer’s eye to the focal point. Spreading shapes without order usually weakens focus, removing the main shape removes the intended centre, and hiding every shape in a different direction makes the composition confusing. Therefore, organized grouping is the most effective choice for creating focus.
