Understand the context of Gestalt psychology, which focuses on how people perceive and organize visual information.

Consider examples of closure, such as how people can recognize a circle even if it is partially drawn or obscured.
Differentiate the principle of closure from other Gestalt principles like figure-ground (perceiving objects against a background), similarity (grouping similar objects), and proximity (associating events or objects that are close together).
Apply the principle of closure to the given options and recognize that it specifically refers to the tendency to complete incomplete figures.
