    B.

    Loss in sensitivity to motion

    C.

    Tracking objects only in darkness

    We perceive an object is in motion whenever its image moves across our retina
    Sol. Stroboscopic motion refers to the perception of motion when an object is viewed in a series of rapid, discrete flashes, creating the illusion of continuous movement. This phenomenon occurs when images are displayed in quick succession, and our brain interprets them as movement because the image moves across the retina.
    Information Booster:

    Key Features of Stroboscopic Motion:
            Persistence of Vision:
                    The brain retains an image for a brief moment after it disappears, blending consecutive images into smooth motion.
            Frame Rate Matters:
                    Motion appears natural when images are shown at around 24 frames per second (fps) or higher.
            Slower frame rates create a choppy or jerky motion effect.
                    Difference from Phi Phenomenon:
            Phi Phenomenon involves perceiving motion between separate blinking lights.
                    Stroboscopic Motion involves rapid sequential images forming a moving scene.
