Which option shows the idea of shape grammar?

Creating rules for repeating and transforming certain shapes in design

Shape grammar is a system of rules that explains how shapes may be selected, arranged, repeated, combined, or transformed in a design. Like grammar in language, it creates relationships and structure rather than leaving every decision unrelated. For example, a designer might repeat a basic form, rotate it, enlarge it, or alter it according to a planned pattern. The result can feel coherent even when individual shapes change.

Option A is correct because it explicitly creates rules for repeating and transforming shapes. Randomly making every shape, keeping forms unrelated, or removing all shapes does not demonstrate a visual system. Shape grammar is therefore more than repetition alone: it is the organized set of operations and relationships that gives a composition unity and recognizable order.
