Answer 2

The reference point referred to in this scenario is the person on the road.

• The reference point in this scenario is the fixed object on the road that perceives the moving object.
• Two things in the question are the person on the road and the bus which is moving and changing its position and due to which person standing outside can see passengers moving.
• Therefore fixed element is the person which is the reference point that perceives the passengers moving.
• Anything or object which is changing its position to any fixed entity is considered the comparator element from its reference.
• Only if two objects are in motion we can get a moving reference point.
• However, in this case, one element is fixed and the other is moving so the one which is fixed is the reference point relative to the one moving and changing its location.
• Hence, the person on the road is the correct answer.
