Which setting adjusts the density of shadows?

• A. Density
• B. Shadow bias
• C. Size
• D. Sample range

Answer: (A)

This question is about what changes how dark a shadow appears. Density directly controls the opacity of the shadow that a light casts; increasing density makes the shadow more opaque and darker, while decreasing it lightens the shadow. The other settings affect different aspects: size changes the softness of the shadow’s edges (a larger size yields a blurrier, more feathered shadow), shadow bias helps prevent self-shadowing artifacts by offsetting the shadow in depth, and sample range affects how many samples are used for shadow calculations, influencing noise and fidelity rather than darkness. So, to adjust how dense or dark the shadow is, you adjust the density.
