Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The example involves the use of only one eye (monocular) to perceive depth through the relative size cue, as the taxis appear smaller due to the increased distance from the observer. The example does not involve the use of both eyes (binocular), so options C and D can be eliminated. Texture gradient is not mentioned in the scenario, so option B can also be eliminated.
