Solution

The correct option is B False
The line of sight is a straight line along which an observer observes an object.
It is an imaginary line that stretches between observer's eye and the object that he is looking at.
If the object being observed is above the horizontal, then the angle between the line of sight and the horizontal is called angle of elevation.
