Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rotation of the eyes in their sockets is known as convergence, which is a binocular distance cue. Option B refers to interposition, which is a monocular distance cue related to overlap. Option C refers to disparity, which is the difference between the images projected onto each retina, another binocular distance cue. Option D refers to dichromatic cues, which are color-related cues used to perceive depth, but not specifically related to distance. Therefore, only option A is correct.
