A. InvisibleExplanation
When viewed from a few feet away, all pattern lines should be "invisible" from blending and the shorter coat should be feathered into the longer hair.

The goal is to create a smooth and natural appearance where the shorter coat seamlessly transitions into the longer hair, making the pattern lines invisible to the naked eye.Rate this question:
