Solution

The correct option is D Fovea centralis
The fovea centralis is a part of the eye. It is a small, central pit composed of closely packed cones. It is located in the center of the macula lutea of the retina. The fovea is responsible for sharp central vision, which is necessary in humans for activities, where visual detail is of primary importance.
So, the correct answer is 'Fovea centralis'
