What is achieved by reducing the number of reflected surfaces in Revit?

Reducing the number of reflected surfaces in Revit significantly contributes to speeding up rendering times. When there are fewer reflective surfaces, the rendering engine has a simpler scene to process, which means it requires less computational power and time to calculate light interactions and reflections. Each reflective surface adds to the complexity of the calculations that must be performed, such as determining how light bounces off surfaces or how reflections are displayed. By streamlining the scene in this way, rendering can occur more quickly and efficiently, making it easier to produce visualizations without excessive wait times.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the primary benefit of reducing reflected surfaces. While color accuracy and visibility of details may be influenced by other factors in the scene setup, they are not directly enhanced by merely reducing reflections. More complex renderings, on the contrary, typically involve an increase in reflected surfaces, which would actually slow down rendering times rather than improve them.
