Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stereopsis is the ability to perceive depth or three-dimensional space. It is facilitated by the fact that each eye receives a slightly different view of the world, known as binocular disparity, which is processed by the brain to create a single 3D image. Option A is incorrect because convergence refers to the inward movement of the eyes while focusing on a nearby object. Option B is partially correct as stereopsis helps in object recognition, but the question specifically mentions depth perception. Option C is incorrect as convergence does help in detail discrimination but it is not related to binocular disparity.
