Which option will have the best shape readability?

A shape with clear boundary, proper contrast, and simple silhouette

Shape readability means that a viewer can quickly recognize the shape and understand its outline. A strong boundary separates the shape from nearby forms, while contrast makes it visible against the background. A simple silhouette is useful because its main outline is not hidden by unnecessary detail or confusing overlaps. These qualities allow the shape to communicate clearly from a distance as well as nearby.

Option A is correct because it combines a clear boundary, suitable contrast, and a simple silhouette. A blurred edge or a colour too similar to the background makes recognition difficult. Excessive overlapping can hide the outline, and erasing half the shape removes important visual information. Readability is therefore improved by clarity, separation, and an easily understood outer form.
