Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Monocular depth cue in which we understand objects high in our visual fields are farther away:
A
relative size
B
linear perspective
C
contnuity
D
relative height
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Linear perspective happens when the angles of two adjacent objects and the distance between them look smaller and smaller. This causes your eye to interpret those objects as increasingly farther away from you.

Detailed explanation-2: -These monocular cues include: relative size. interposition. linear perspective.

Detailed explanation-3: -Background. Monocular depth cues are the information in the retinal image that gives us information about depth and distance but can be inferred from just a single retina (or eye). In everyday life, of course, we perceive these cues with both eyes, but they are just as usable with only one functioning eye.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monocular cues include relative size (distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects), texture gradient, occlusion, linear perspective, contrast differences, and motion parallax.
