Which term describes a pattern that is systematically repeated and often grid-based?

• A. Complex patterns
• B. Simple patterns
• C. Random patterns
• D. Isolated patterns

Answer: (A)

When a pattern repeats in a deliberate, orderly way across a grid, the design shows structure and many interacting parts. This level of repetition across space, with arranged elements forming a larger, cohesive whole, fits the idea of complex patterns. Simple patterns are straightforward repeats with little variation; random patterns have no predictable repetition; isolated patterns occur only once and don’t form a grid-based layout. A grid-based, systematically repeated design often reveals multiple layers of repetition, making it more intricate and thus best described as complex patterns.
