Why is variety of shapes useful in a design?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It makes the design interesting
The governing concept is variety as a visual design principle. Using different shapes can prevent monotony, guide the viewer’s attention, create contrast, and make a composition more lively and interesting; therefore option A is correct. Variety does not mean placing unrelated forms carelessly, because the shapes should still support the purpose and overall unity of the design. The other choices are not visual effects of shape variety: it does not erase every shape, change the smell of paper, or literally close a drawing. Comparing the meaningful visual result with the distractors shows that increased interest is the intended answer.
