The Gestalt principle of continuity suggests that the eye tends to follow the path of least resistance and will continue a pattern or path until it is interrupted. In this case, Christina would continue down the second trail that appears to continue in the same general direction, which aligns with the principle of continuity. The other principles are not as relevant to this situation; closure refers to filling in missing parts of a figure, proximity refers to objects being near each other, and common region refers to objects being perceived as a group if they are within the same boundary.
