In viewport shading, which mode provides a more realistic representation using textures and lighting?

• A. Shaded
• B. Realistic
• C. Wireframe
• D. Bounding Box

Answer: (B)

Realistic mode is designed to show textures and lighting in the viewport, giving a preview that mirrors how the model will appear when rendered. It applies the material textures, maps, and lighting so you can see surfaces with their colors and details and how light interacts with them. The other options are simpler—Wireframe shows only the geometry lines, Bounding Box renders just the outer boxes, and Shaded provides basic shading without textures—so they don’t convey textures and lighting as accurately. Realistic thus gives the most faithful in-viewport representation of textures and lighting.
