Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The principle of closure refers to the tendency to perceive incomplete figures as whole or complete. This means that even if gaps or spaces exist in the representation, our brains will automatically fill them in to create a complete and recognizable figure. This is why we can still recognize letters or words even if they are partially obstructed or written in a non-traditional way.
