As the retinal image of a horse galloping toward you becomes larger,it is unlikely that the horse will appear to grow larger.This best illustrates the importance of
A) relative luminance.
B) size constancy.
C) closure.
D) relative motion.
Size Constancy
The perception of an object as having a constant size, despite variations in the size of the visual field image caused by changes in viewing distance.
Retinal Image
The projection of visual imagery onto the retina, enabling the process of vision by converting light into neural signals sent to the brain.
- Master the fundamental ideas of perceptual constancy, namely brightness and size constancy.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Size constancy allows us to perceive objects as being the same size despite changes in their retinal image size. In the case of the galloping horse, as it approaches, its retinal image size grows larger, but our perception of its size remains relatively constant due to size constancy mechanisms.
