Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interposition is the concept where closer objects obstruct our view of distant objects. This obstruction of view provides a cue for depth perception. Option A is incorrect because the size of the retinal image cannot be used to accurately determine the depth of an object. Option C is incorrect because the amount of light an object reflects does not give an accurate cue for depth perception. Option D is incorrect because the location of an object in the horizontal plane does not provide a cue for depth perception.
