Solution

The correct option is A Cat
  • Cats have binocular vision which means that part of the field of vision of each eye overlaps. This overlap creates a stereoscopic effect so that three-dimensional impressions can be made.
  • Cats have a slightly wider binocular field than humans; human vision has 120° of binocular overlap, while a cat has 130° of binocular overlap.
  • It is because their eyes are positioned well forward on its head, aimed directly ahead.
  • The cat’s frontal, three-dimensional vision is very important for it as a hunter because it helps it to gauge distances properly when stalking potential prey.
So, the correct option is 'Cat'.
