Which option shows correct form simplification through line?

Showing essential edges and direction of an object with fewer lines

Form simplification is the process of reducing visual information while preserving the object’s essential identity, structure, and direction. Lines are used economically to describe the most important edges, planes, axis, or gesture rather than copying every visible mark. Option A is correct because fewer purposeful lines can communicate the basic form clearly and efficiently. This is not the same as careless omission: the selected lines must still explain what the object is and how it is oriented. Option B adds unedited detail and weakens economy. Option C removes the main information, and D disconnects line from observation. Good simplification clarifies the form by selecting essentials, not by drawing everything or removing the subject altogether.
