A) A will seem to move more quickly than B in a direction opposite to that of the observer.
B) B will seem to move more quickly than A in a direction opposite to that of the observer.
C) A will seem to move more quickly than B in the same direction as that of the observer.
D) B will seem to move more quickly than A in the same direction as that of the observer.
Observer Movement
In experimental research, this term describes the actions or movements made by an observer, which can potentially influence the subject's behavior.
Opposite Direction
A course or path that differs by 180 degrees from the original or compared direction, often used in physics, navigation, and general descriptions of movement or orientation.
Same Direction
A situation or condition in which multiple objects, forces, or trends are moving or oriented towards the same point or path.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
This is an example of parallax motion. As the observer moves their head from right to left, the angle at which they view A and B changes. Since A is farther away, this change in angle has a greater effect on A's apparent motion than on B's. Therefore, B will seem to move more quickly than A in the direction opposite to that of the observer.
