Parallax refers to the displacement or difference in an object's apparent position when viewed from different perspectives. In this case, the position of the observer's eyes in relation to the scale of a stadiometer affects the measurement of a subject's height, resulting in parallax error. The other choices do not involve different perspectives or positions that affect the measurement.
