Continuity is the Gestalt principle that suggests elements arranged on a line or curve are perceived to be more related than elements not on the line or curve, thus being grouped together in the viewer's mind. This definition aligns with choice B, which correctly describes the law of continuity. The other options incorrectly define the laws of proximity (C), good form (not a standard term in Gestalt psychology), and closure (A and D).
