The usage of white lines retreating towards the top of the image creates the illusion of movement.
To answer this question, you need to analyze the image and understand the effect created by the white lines. Here's how you can do it:
1. Look closely at the image: Pay attention to the white lines and how they are arranged.
2. Take note of the direction: Observe that the white lines are retreating towards the top of the image, meaning they are getting smaller or converging as they move upward.
3. Identify the effect: Now, consider the impact of these lines on the overall composition. Think about what the lines are suggesting or creating visually.
4. Compare the given options: Look at the provided choices - pattern, emphasis, balance, and movement. Consider which one aligns with the effect you observed in the image.
5. Choose the correct answer: Based on your analysis, you should determine that the correct answer is "movement." The retreating white lines create a sense of movement in the image, drawing the viewer's eye upwards and giving the impression of depth or perspective.
So, the illusion created by the white lines in the image is movement.
