Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Shape constancy refers to the ability to perceive an object as having the same shape despite changes in its orientation or the angle from which it is viewed. Recognizing a door as a rectangle whether it is closed or ajar is an example of this, as the perceived shape of the door remains constant despite changes in perspective.
