Which option shows shape abstraction?

Showing a real tree with simple triangles and circles

The governing concept is abstraction in visual art. Abstraction represents a real subject by selecting, simplifying, rearranging, or transforming its important visual qualities instead of copying every visible detail. Option A is correct because the recognizable idea of a tree is retained while its branches, crown, or overall structure are expressed through simple triangles and circles. The result changes the natural appearance but still refers to the original subject. Option B removes the subject rather than representing it. Option C describes a written reference to smell, not a visual abstraction of the tree’s shape. Option D merely gives an unrelated paper fold a name and provides no clear visual connection. Abstraction may be simple or complex, but it needs an intentional relationship with the subject.
