Explanation:

To determine the best answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Focuses only on linear symmetry and relationship with surroundings, not the full scope of structural balance.
• Option b: Only considers aesthetic features, ignoring structural stability which is crucial for balance.
• Option c: Structural balance in architecture involves both the aesthetic appeal (how it looks) and the stability (how it stands/functions), so this option is comprehensive.
