Our ability to see in three dimensions is known as
A
depth perception
B
sensory accomodation
C
visual acuity
D
rod-cone refraction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Depth perception is the ability of humans and other sighted animals to see objects as having volume (as opposed to seeing flat silhouettes) and to see the relative position of objects in a three-dimensional environment (as opposed to in a twodimensional picture).

Detailed explanation-2: -Depth perception is the ability to see things in three dimensions (including length, width and depth), and to judge how far away an object is.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stereopsis (depth perception) is the visual ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D)-length, width, and depth-which then allows a person to judge where an object is relative to him or her.

Detailed explanation-4: -Depth perception is the ability to perceive the world in three dimensions (3D) and to judge the distance of objects. Your brain achieves it by processing different pictures from each eye and combining them to form a single 3D image.

Detailed explanation-5: -We hypothesize that vision satisfaction is driven primarily by three dimensions of vision: spatial awareness, discriminating efficiency, and visual endurance.
