B Correct answer
Explanation

Warm colors (reds, oranges, yellows) are associated with heat, fire, and the sun, and visually appear to advance or come closer. Cool colors (blues, greens, purples) are associated with water, ice, and distance, and visually appear to recede or move further away. This principle creates depth and atmosphere in visual compositions.
