Horizontal balance describes equal left and right parts.

• A. Symmetrical
• B. Vertical Balance
• C. Horizontal Balance
• D. Rhythm

Answer: (C)

Balance in a composition means distributing visual weight so the overall form feels steady. Horizontal balance specifically looks at how weight is spread from left to right across the width. When the elements on the left balance those on the right, the composition reads as balanced along the horizontal axis. That equal left-right distribution matches the idea described by horizontal balance. Symmetrical arrangement can achieve this, but symmetry is about mirror-imaged parts, whereas horizontal balance is about the weight distribution across the width. Vertical balance concerns top and bottom distribution, and rhythm deals with repetition and pattern rather than weight distribution.
