Under-estimating
The act of judging something to be smaller or less important than it actually is.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Many optical illusions occur because of the brain's method of perceiving depth or distance, leading to over- or under-estimation of the distance to objects. This misinterpretation can make two-dimensional images appear three-dimensional or cause stationary objects to seem like they're moving.
