A tessellation is a repeating pattern of figures. To understand this concept, you can try creating a tessellation yourself. Start by choosing a shape, such as a square or a triangle. Then, repeat this shape by fitting it together without any gaps or overlaps. The repeated shapes can cover an entire plane, meaning they extend indefinitely in all directions. This type of pattern creates a tessellation. So, the answer is B. repeating.
