A door is still perceived as a rectangle even after we view it from different angles. This is due to
A) linear constancy.
B) retinal disparity.
C) shape constancy.
D) depth cues.

Question

Shape constancy allows an object to be perceived as the same shape despite changes in the retinal image due to variations in viewing angle or distance. The perception of a door as a rectangle regardless of viewing angle is an example of shape constancy. Linear constancy refers to the perception of parallel lines as remaining parallel as they recede in the distance. Retinal disparity refers to the slight difference between the images produced by the left and right eyes, which allows for depth perception. While depth cues are important for perceiving three-dimensional space, they do not account for the constancy phenomena observed with shapes.
