C

D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, placing sofas, chairs and tables around a fireplace will encourage people to gather around it, and draw traffic to this space. Furniture in contrasting colours and textures will make the viewer stop and think while drawing their eye.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adding emphasis to an object creates a focal point, which grabs an audience’s attention. It’s where you want the viewer to look first, but doesn’t overpower the rest of the design (or it would be out of balance). A simple example is a long hallway or corridor, where your eye is drawn to the end of the hallway.

Detailed explanation-3: -Contrast a shape with its surroundings. Create a contrast of temperature. Use a darker or lighter value. Focus attention with converging lines. Isolate the object you want to emphasize. Increase an object’s intensity of color. 23-Sept-2008
