The seeming convergence of parallel lines provides the distance cue known as

A) interposition.
B) closure.
C) linear perspective.
D) continuity.

Linear Perspective

A technique in art and photography that creates the illusion of depth on a flat surface by converging parallel lines towards a single point in the distance.

Seeming Convergence

The appearance or impression of things coming together or becoming more similar over time.

Parallel Lines

Lines in a plane that never meet, regardless of how far they are extended in their respective directions.

  • Distinguish and describe diverse depth signals, including those from binocular and monocular sources, and their roles in estimating distances.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Linear perspective is the distance cue that results from the convergence of parallel lines. This cue enables us to perceive depth and distance in a scene. Interposition refers to one object partially blocking another, closure refers to the perceptual tendency to complete incomplete figures, and continuity refers to the tendency to perceive smooth and continuous patterns. These cues do not specifically provide information about distance or depth based on the convergence of parallel lines.
