Which option strengthens foreground through line treatment?

Clear dark lines in foreground and light lines in distant area

The governing concept is the use of line weight and clarity to create visual depth. Foreground objects are generally made more prominent with darker, sharper, or more detailed lines, while distant forms are softened, made lighter, or given less detail. This contrast makes the nearer area attract attention and helps the viewer read the picture in layers. Option A is correct because clear dark foreground lines establish emphasis and lighter distant lines suggest recession. Option B reverses the usual depth cue. Option C also reverses emphasis by weakening the foreground and strengthening the background. Option D removes useful variation, so it gives less separation between near and far areas. The method is not an absolute rule for every style, but it is the most suitable choice here.
