Solution

The correct option is D Characterized by a yellow colour
The macula lutea is an oval-shaped highly pigmented yellow spot near the centre of the retina of the human eye (exactly opposite to cornea).
Corpus luteum is the yellow, hormone-secreting body in the female reproductive system.
In both, the term 'lutea' in Latin means yellow.
So, the correct answer is option C.
