Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Monolocular vision can be seen in horse, rabbit or cat.
In man and other Primates, however both the eyes face forward, so that they form two separate images of the same object.
But two images are not seen due to overlapping of their fields of vision.
As a result, the object is seen in three dimensions which also give a sense of the distance of the object.
This type of vision in which the depth or distance is also judged is called binolocular or stereoscopic vision.
