Which option shows correct use of atmospheric perspective?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Distant hills look lighter and less clear
The governing concept is atmospheric perspective, in which air between the viewer and distant objects reduces apparent contrast, detail, and often colour intensity. Showing distant hills lighter and less sharply defined makes them recede and strengthens the illusion of depth. Therefore, option A is correct. Dark, sharp distant forms usually appear nearer, and the other choices deny or reverse the atmospheric effect.
