Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Monocular depth cue that allows us to understand that far way objects appear smaller:
A
relative height
B
relative size
C
interposition
D
linear perspective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Relative size of an object refers to the size that the object looks. Objects that are farther away look smaller to the eye, while objects that are closer up look larger. Texture gradient is an example of linear perspective.

Detailed explanation-2: -Relative size This monocular cue gives you the ability to measure how far away something is. It works by judging how big or small the object is and what that means in relation to other objects you’ve interacted with in the past. Here’s an example: When you see a plane fly by in the sky above you, it looks really small.

Detailed explanation-3: -Linear perspective is a type of monocular cue in which parallel lines appear to converge at some point in the distance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Relative Height: We perceive objects that are higher in our field of vision to be farther away than those that are lower.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocular depth cues can be used also without stereo display. The physiological depth cues are accommodation, convergence, binocular parallax, and monocular movement parallax. Convergence and binocular parallax are the only binocular depth cues, all others are monocular.
