Two-dimensional depth cues used by artists:
A
monocular cues
B
binocular cues
C
retinal disparity
D
convergence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocular cues of depth perception are effective when the objects are viewed with only one eye. These cues are often used by artists to induce depth in two-dimensional paintings. Hence, they are also known as pictorial cues.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both of the eyes focus on the same plane, such that the eyes would work in conjunction. As such, painters rely on the monocular cues that people can gauge without noticing the different distances to an object, such as the interposition of an object within the painting that covers another object within the painting.

Detailed explanation-3: -These monocular cues include: relative size. interposition.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans have eight depth cues that are used by the brain to estimate the relative distance of the objects in every scene we look at. These are focus, perspective, occlusion, light and shading, colour intensity and contrast, relative movement, vergence and stereopsis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Monocular cues include relative size, interposition, aerial perspective, linear perspective, texture gradient, and motion parallax. Relative size is the principle that if two objects are similar in size, the one that casts a larger retinal image is closer.
