The field of view illusion is a visual phenomenon wherein the greater the observer’s field of vision, the slower objects appear to be moving. Thus, a pedestrian’s approximation of the speed of a car far away from her is typically lower than it would be for a car that is closer to her.
The conclusion above would be more logically drawn if it were clarified that
A. the speed of the car farther away from her is assumed to be lower than that of the car closer to her
B. the speed of the car farther away from her is assumed to be higher than that of the car close to her
C. the speed of the car farther away from her is assumed to be the same as that of the car closer to her
D. the pedestrian’s approximation of speed is assumed to be more precise with cars farther away from her than it is with cars closer to her
E. the pedestrian’s approximation of speed is assumed to be more precise with cars closer to her than it is with cars farther away from her

Greater FoV = object appear slower
Car far away -> appear slower (than actual) and car nearer -> appear less slower (than actual)
Thus approximation of speed for closer car is better than that of far away car.
IMO E.

This is a tricky question.
IMO the point they are making is that, an object moving from far away appears to be moving slower than when the same object is closer. This is the premise.
Conclusion is:
The approximation is typically lower when its farther than when its closer.
This actually logically follows only if you assume that the speed of car was always the same across both points measured. If the speed were different then the approximation wont make any sense.
Hence option C is the correct answer IMO.
Option E IMO looks tempting but that is something that is inferred from the passage and not something that needs to be an assumption. The stem is cleverly disguised in a way to think it might be an inference when I think its indirectly asking for an assumption.
You have a premise, conclusion, what is something if stated true would make the above statements make sense as well? Rephrase it and: What is the assumption needed for the above statements?
