According to the gestalt grouping factor of good continuation, how would someone who had never before seen an "X" most likely describe it?

A) consisting of a right-side-up "v" over an upside-down "v"
B) consisting of two sideways v's next to each other
C) consisting of two crossed diagonal lines
D) consisting of four diagonal lines meeting at a central point

According to the gestalt grouping factor of good continuation, our brains tend to fill in missing information to perceive a continuous, smooth pattern. In the case of an "X", the two diagonal lines are perceived as continuing behind the intersection point, creating the appearance of two crossed diagonal lines. Therefore, choice C, consisting of two crossed diagonal lines, is the most likely description for someone who had never seen an "X" before.
