Solution

The correct option is A Myopia
A myopic person cannot see far objects and he can see distinctly only upto a limited distance. That is, his far point is shorter than infinity.
A person suffering from hypermetropia cannot see nearby objects clearly, whereas he/she can see distant objects clearly.
In case of cataract, vision decreases due to clouding of the lens. Presbyopia is the defect where the power of accomodation decreases.
