Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is C. impossible figure

Explanation
Option 1: phi phenomenon

The phi phenomenon refers to the optical illusion of perceiving continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. This is not relevant to the image described.

Option 2: color misperception

Color misperception involves illusions where colors are perceived differently than they actually are, often due to surrounding colors or lighting conditions. This does not seem to fit the description of the image.

Option 3: impossible figure

An impossible figure is a type of optical illusion that consists of a two-dimensional figure which is perceived as a three-dimensional object but cannot exist as such in reality. Examples include the Penrose triangle or the impossible trident. This matches the description of the image provided.

Option 4: structural illusion

A structural illusion involves misperceptions of the physical structure of an object, often due to perspective or context. While this could be related, it is not as specific as the impossible figure in describing the type of illusion in the image.
