Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
This phenomenon is known as size constancy, where despite changes in the retinal image size, we perceive objects as maintaining their size. Therefore, if both objects are casting the same sized image on the retina, but distance cues indicate that A is closer, we will perceive A as smaller than B.
