Answer 2

Hello there,

According to Gestalt law, the answer to this question is option d) proximity.

Explanation: In a mall, most of the shops look alike and are usually of clothes, shoes or accessories. Similarly, according to the law when you opened the door, your mind clubbed all these similar shops together and after that, all that was different and outstanding from that group was the pretzel shop, different in aroma and structure and appearance.

I hope you understood. Thanks
