How to approach this question
The question asks for binocular depth cues. 'Bi' means two, and 'ocular' relates to the eyes. Therefore, you are looking for cues that require both eyes to work together. Review the list and identify which cues need two eyes. Convergence and retinal disparity are the two binocular cues. Select one of them.
Full Answer
A.Convergence✓ Correct
Depth perception allows us to see the world in three dimensions. We use both monocular (one eye) and binocular (two eyes) cues to do this. Binocular cues are particularly important for judging the distance of nearby objects. The two main binocular cues are convergence (the inward turning of the eyes) and retinal disparity (the slight difference in the image projected onto each retina). Options B, C, and D are all monocular cues.
Common mistakes
Confusing monocular and binocular cues. Forgetting that there are two binocular cues to choose from.
