Question

the tendency to visually distinguish between an object and what’s behind it is:
vision.
depth perception.
visual accommodation.
figure - ground organization.

Explanation:

• "Vision" is the general ability to see, not specific to distinguishing object and background.
• "Depth perception" relates to perceiving distance and 3D, not object - background distinction.
• "Visual accommodation" is about eye lens adjusting for focus, not relevant here.
• "Figure - ground organization" is the perceptual tendency to separate an object (figure) from its background (ground), matching the description.

Answer:

D. figure - ground organization.
