165. A fisherman on the bank of the river sees a fish in the water.  The fish appears to be 
     
A. closer to the shore and larger than reality.
Our eyes interpret all light as traveling only in straight lines.  Because the light is refracted as it travels from the fish to the fisherman, the fish is closer to shore than it appears to be.  It is also shorter.

The Correct Answer is B.

B. closer to the shore and smaller than reality.
C. farther from the shore and larger than reality.
D. farther from the shore and smaller than reality.
