Explanation:

Identify the core perceptual concept

The question asks for the term in perceptual organization that represents the part of an image one is focused on. In Gestalt psychology, the figure-ground relationship describes how the visual system simplifies a scene into the main object we look at (the figure) and everything else that forms the background (the ground).

Match the definition to the options

The part of the picture that represents the object of focus is defined as the "figure," while the background is the "ground." Therefore, the correct option is B.

Answer:

• (A) ground
• (B) figure (Correct answer)
• (C) shadow
• (D) constancy
