Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Panoramic photography can be challenging due to a number of factors, including parallax, stitching errors, and exposure problems. Parallax can cause objects to appear to move or shift when the camera is moved from one position to another. Stitching errors can occur when the panoramic images are not properly aligned and blended together. Exposure problems can occur when the different parts of the panoramic image are not exposed correctly.
