If a pencil’s H# is decreased, then ______________
a. the level of clay used increases.
b. the texture of the graphite becomes harder.
c. the lines produced will be lighter.
d. the cost of the pencil increases.
I think the correct answer is C. If a pencil’s H# is decreased, then lines produced will be lighter. H and B for pencils represents hard and black, respectively. H pencils leave less graphite on the paper thus produce lighter lines.
