Answer 1

In the context of an ocean scene like "The Great Wave" by Gustave Le Gray, lines in the composition can contribute to movement, harmony, and value. However, "radial balance" is typically more associated with designs that radiate from a central point, which is less applicable to a wave crashing on the shore. Therefore, the correct answer is:

radial balance.
