Which option is NOT a type of magnification?

Magnification in vision help focuses on making visual information easier to see by changing how the image is presented to the eye. Size magnification enlarges the image itself so more detail can be seen at the same distance. Distance magnification uses devices that let you view objects from farther away while keeping the image readable, effectively increasing working distance without losing detail. Angular magnification relies on lenses or telescopes to make the object subtend a larger angle at the eye, so it looks bigger even if you don’t change the actual size of the object. Acoustic magnification, on the other hand, deals with amplifying sound and has no effect on visual input. So the option that isn’t a type of magnification is acoustic magnification.
