Which option shows correct hard-level use of atmospheric perspective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Contrast, detail, and saturation reduce with distance
The governing concept of atmospheric perspective is that intervening air softens the appearance of distant forms. As distance increases, contrast and fine detail usually decrease, colours become less saturated or shift toward atmospheric tones, and edges appear softer. Therefore option B is correct. Maximum sharpness and saturation belong more naturally to the foreground, while the other choices deny or reverse the depth effect.
