Show Hint
Match each icon's visual action, weaving over-under, repeating rhythm, near-touching overlap, or steady size change, to the design term that names that exact action.
Step 1: Recall what each design term means.
Progression is a steady, directional change in a visual property, such as size, from one element to the next.
Alternation is a rhythm made by repeating two (or more) differing elements one after another.
Spatial Tension is the pull felt between two forms placed close to, or overlapping, one another without touching squarely, so the eye reads a taut relationship between them.
Interlacing is the over and under weaving of one element through another, like threads in a fabric.
Interlocking is when shapes are joined so that a part of one occupies or is enclosed by the other, fitting together like a key in a lock.
Step 2: Read what each icon in Group-I actually shows.
P shows three strips crossing at angles, each passing alternately over and under the others, exactly the weaving action described as interlacing.
Q shows one large square with two smaller squares placed near its corner, overlapping and almost touching its edge, which is the taut, unresolved feel of spatial tension rather than a full interlock.
R shows a row of vertical bars whose hatching pattern repeats in a regular back and forth way, which is the rhythm of alternation.
S shows a row of vertical bars that climb steadily in height from left to right, which is a direct visual progression.
Step 3: Assemble the match.
P - Interlacing (4), Q - Spatial Tension (3), R - Alternation (2), S - Progression (1).
This is exactly option (C).
Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{\text{P - 4, Q - 3, R - 2, S - 1}} \]
