The Gestalt principle of common fate states that when visual elements move together in the same direction, at the same time and speed, they are perceived as belonging together. In this case, since the band members move together identically, the audience perceives waves of motion, which is an example of common fate. The other options (texture, simplicity, and closure) do not apply to the scenario described.
