Which white space guideline helps to differentiate objects on a page?

• A. Differentiate objects on a page
• B. Emphasize objects on a page
• C. Improve a page's readability and understandability
• D. Make a page look more professional and elegant

Answer: (A)

Using white space to create clear boundaries between items is what differentiates objects on a page. When you add margins, padding, and gaps between elements like text blocks, images, and buttons, each item becomes visually distinct, making it easier for users to see where one item ends and another begins. This separation is the core way white space helps differentiate things on the page.

Other guidelines—emphasizing a particular element, improving overall readability, or achieving a professional look—are valuable for other reasons, but they don’t directly describe the act of distinguishing multiple objects through space.
