An arch contour is characterized by which pattern?

Arch contour Flat contour Wave contour Inverted arch contour

Correct Answer:

Arch contour

Explanation:

An arch contour is defined by an arch-shaped curve: a single, smooth convex line that rises from one endpoint, reaches a peak, and then descends to the other endpoint. This arch-like pattern is what sets it apart from a flat contour (a straight line with no rise), a wave contour (alternating peaks and troughs), or an inverted arch contour (a curve that opens downward). So the arch-shaped pattern best describes an arch contour.
