An individual wrote, “Just gonna say B because there’s no reason to ask unless it’s a trick question.” “Seeing as they don’t exist except on a screen and we’re trying to be tricked by depth and they actually are the same distance away the back one appears bigger and that’s all that matters,” expressed another. A third commented, “The wall is bigger.” “Well, if you are talking about in the picture, they are the same size. But if this was real life 3 dimensions, A,” posted a fourth.
