Question Confusing Human Factors ATPL question (repost)

Hi all, (sorry about the repost, i originally had it in the wrong forum)
this is an odd ATPL Human Factors questions that i have.

Halo effect on the windscreen whilst on a night visual approach in rain, may have you thinking:
a) That you are closer to the runway than is actually the case
b) That you are further away from the runway that is actually the case

Answer is B.

However i figured the answer would be A. Because water makes objects appear closer than they actually are.
