Which of the following is listed as a sensory characteristic?

• A. Shape, Color, Size, Visual/Spatial Location, Orientation, Sound
• B. Margins, Padding, Borders
• C. Font family, Font size, Line height
• D. Alt text, aria-label

Answer: (B)

Sensory characteristics are attributes you perceive with your senses when you look at or listen to a user interface. Shape, color, size, visual or spatial location, orientation, and even sound are directly sensed and describe how an element appears or sounds to users. The other groups describe how a UI is built or described: margins, padding, and borders relate to layout and spacing; font family, font size, and line height affect typography and readability; and alt text along with aria-label provide accessible descriptions for assistive technologies rather than how the element is perceived. So the set that lists the sensory attributes is the one that includes Shape, Color, Size, Visual/Spatial Location, Orientation, and Sound.
