Answer:

interposition

Step-by-step explanation:

When a person observes an object is partially overlapping another object then the object which is behind appears to be farther away. This phenomenon is called interposition.

Here, as Pedro thought his son was closer to him as his son overlapped his daughter. Hence, the distance cue which influenced the father's perception is interposition.
