Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) Proximity and similarity; (B) Continuity and closure

Explanation

Proximity and similarity explain grouping by nearness and likeness. Continuity and closure explain following coherent paths and completing incomplete figures. Thus A, B. Grain, texture, scale and proportion are design descriptors, but these pairs are not the Gestalt grouping principles asked for.
