A) distal stimulus.
B) proximal stimulus.
C) binocular cue.
D) perceptual set
Proximal Stimulus
The stimulus energies that directly interact with sensory receptors.
Distal Stimulus
An object or event in the outside world that provides the source of information that our sensory receptors respond to, as opposed to the perception (proximal stimulus) of the object or event formed in our minds.
Retina
The light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that captures images and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The image projected on the retina is known as the proximal stimulus. The distal stimulus refers to the actual object in the environment, while binocular cues refer to the visual information from both eyes that is used to perceive depth. Perceptual set refers to the expectations and biases that influence perception.
