Using two eyes for depth is called a
A
Monocular cue
B
Binocular cue
C
Connectedness
D
Linear perspective
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binocular depth cues are the images taken in by both eyes to give depth perception, or stereopsis. Binocular cues create a three-dimensional image of the world one views. There are two types of binocular depth cues: convergence and retinal disparity. Convergence uses both eyes to focus on one object.

Detailed explanation-2: -Binocular cues are depth cues that require the use of two eyes. For instance, trying to touch the tip of two pencils together in front of your face may be rather easy to do with both eyes open; however, attempting this task with one eye open is significantly challenging.

Detailed explanation-3: -[2][3] Binocular cues include stereopsis, eye convergence, disparity, and yielding depth from binocular vision through exploitation of parallax. Monocular cues include size: distant objects subtend smaller visual angles than near objects, grain, size, and motion parallax.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binocular cues provide depth information when viewing a scene with both eyes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Humans have two eyes. Because they are a few inches apart, the retinal image of an object on one eye may be slightly different than the retinal image of the same object on the other eye. This is the depth cue known as binocular (retinal) disparity. The brain compares these two images as part of depth perception.
