Question

The following two-dimensional visual composition represents \(\underline{\hspace{3cm}}\). 

• A. Interlocking
• B. Intersecting
• C. Interlacing
• D. Interpenetrating

Hint:

Interlacing is recognized by its alternating over-under visual pattern, creating the illusion of weaving in a flat two-dimensional drawing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The given composition consists of several elongated rectangular bars arranged in such a way that each bar alternates between passing visually over and under another bar. This "over-under-over-under" pattern is the key identifying feature of interlacing. In interlacing, the elements appear to weave through each other, creating a pattern similar to woven fabric or basketry. Importantly, the structure is not simply intersecting—intersections involve crossing lines without depth cues. Nor is it interpenetration, which implies one object passing physically through another in a three-dimensional sense. It is also not interlocking, which implies a physical structural dependence or mechanical locking arrangement. What we observe here is a planar graphical representation where layering cues create a woven pattern. This visual alternation of depth without actual 3D penetration or mechanical engagement confirms that the composition represents interlacing.
