The "screen door" effect is described by option B: When a low-resolution display creates a pixelated image.
The screen door effect occurs when you can see the fine lines or grid pattern between the pixels on a digital display, making it look like you're looking at the image through a screen door. This often happens with lower-resolution displays or when a display is viewed very closely, such as in virtual reality (VR) headsets or large projected images.
The effect can be distracting, as it breaks the illusion of a continuous image, and is usually an artifact of the resolution being too low relative to the size of the display and viewing distance.
