Rhythm involves repeated use of line, shape, color, texture or pattern.

• A. Proportion
• B. Emphasis
• C. Unity
• D. Rhythm

Answer: (D)

Rhythm in design comes from repeating elements—lines, shapes, colors, textures, or patterns—in a regular or intentional sequence to create movement and lead the eye through the composition. That repeated use of elements is exactly what the statement describes, making rhythm the appropriate concept here. Proportion is about the size relationships between parts, Emphasis is about creating a focal point to attract attention, and Unity is about the overall harmony of the design. None of those capture the idea of repetition that generates movement, which is the hallmark of rhythm. For example, evenly spaced arches or alternating light and dark bands illustrate rhythm through repetition.
