Which word is used to describe the relative sizes of parts within a whole?

Proportion

Proportion describes how the sizes of parts relate to the whole. It expresses the share each part represents, often as a fraction, ratio, or percentage. When you talk about the proportion of red to blue in a chart or that a certain percentage of the total belongs to a category, you’re describing relative sizes within the whole. The other words don’t fit that idea: standards are rules or benchmarks, vary means to differ or change, and emerge means to appear or come into view. So proportion is the best fit because it directly captures the idea of how large each part is in relation to the whole.
