A trailer of a semitruck that is 500 meters away looks substantially larger than a Toyota does at 25 meters away, despite the fact that the retinal image of the Toyota is greater than that of the semitrailer. Which of the following examples is analogous to this phenomenon?
A) A single tealeaf stands out as the figure portion of the stimulus when set against the bottom of an otherwise empty cup.
B) In an ambiguous figure, the vase turns into a face when viewed from different angles.
C) A book will look rectangular even when seen at a 45-degree angle.
D) Interposition can be used as a depth cue in a group photo.
Retinal Image
The image of an object that is projected on the retina. Its size increases with the size of that object and decreases with the object’s distance from the eye.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The correct analogy is with the phenomenon of shape constancy, where an object's perceived shape remains constant despite changes in the angle of view. This is similar to how the trailer's size is perceived relative to its distance, akin to how a book's rectangular shape is perceived regardless of the viewing angle.
