E) All of the above

1 answer

Atmospheric perspective is best described by option A: Objects in the distance are hazy. It refers specifically to the effect that the atmosphere has on the appearance of objects as they recede into the distance, making them appear lighter and less distinct. While options B, C, and D can also relate to spatial perception in art, they do not specifically define atmospheric perspective. Therefore, the most accurate answer is A.
