Solution

The correct option is B Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia is a defect in which a person is unable to see close objects clearly. The near point, for the person, is farther away from the near point of normal people (25 cm).
This defect arises either because
(i) the focal length of the eye lens is too long, or
(ii) the eyeball has become too small.
