Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The text "The Sun Room" is directly under the picture and is providing information about the content of the figure. This is a typical example of a figure caption. A figure callout is usually a reference to a specific part of a figure, not the entire figure itself. Web caption and Web callout are not standard terms commonly used in academic writing.
