Let's test how you perceive the moment you see it. No right or wrong answer. Choose any 1.
No other choice in poll else you all will vote for option 3. 🤣
When trying to make sense of the world around us, Gestalt psychology suggests that we do not simply focus on every small component. Instead, our minds tend to perceive objects as part of a greater whole and as elements of more complex systems.

I think it is interesting that so far, everyone has given the same answer.
Perhaps the reason is that there is something else going on, psychologically.
When I look at that square, I actually "see" the border between the white square and the white background. So I see a "complete square" in the "foreground." But when I put my fingers over those black circles, the border that I think I am seeing vanishes.
I remember learning that people with occipital lobe damage, who have "gaps" in their vision, actually experience their brains "filling in the gaps". I think something similar to that happens to me when I look at this picture: my brain "extended the pattern" of a border beyond where it actually is drawn.
