Answer: nearer

Step-by-step explanation:

Underwater, objects appear NEARER than they really are on the surface DUE to Total Internal Reflection.

This phenomenon is best explained by the bending of light wave as it travels from one medium to another, making the APPARENT depth differ from the REAL depth.
