Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Visual balance can be formal, in which the elements in the images are arranged symmetrically around a central point or axis, or informal, in which elements are not distributed evenly, but stronger and weaker elements are arranged in a way that achieves an overall effect of balance. Formal balance tends to feel calming and serious, whereas informal balance tends to feel dynamic and engaging.
