Why does an arm projecting toward the viewer appear shorter than its actual length in foreshortening?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because its length appears compressed on the picture plane

Foreshortening is governed by perspective: when a form points toward or away from the viewer, its long axis is not seen from the side. The projection of that axis onto the picture plane becomes shorter, even though the real arm has not changed length. The nearer end may appear larger, while overlap and reduced visible length communicate depth. Therefore option D is correct; light, paper size, and the physical size of the arm do not cause the effect.
