C

1/10th of a second

D

1/6th of a second

Correct Answer :

1/16th of a second

Solution :

The correct option is 1/16th of a second.

Explanation:
Persistence of vision is a physiological phenomenon where the image of an object seen by the eye remains on the retina for a very brief period even after the object has been removed. For the human eye, this visual impression persists for about 1/16th of a second.
If a sequence of still images is projected in front of the eye at a rate faster than 16 frames per second (such as in movies or animations), the brain cannot perceive them as separate images. Instead, the individual images merge together continuously, creating the illusion of smooth and continuous motion.
