Solution

The correct option is C Fovea centralis
A minute yellowish area containing the fovea centralis located near the center of the retina of the eye at which visual perception is most acute is called as yellow spot or macula lutea. When an eye is looking directly at an object, light rays from that object are focused on the macula lutea, a yellow oval spot at the center of the retina. It is the part of the retina, that is responsible for sharp, detailed central vision also called as visual acuity.
So, the correct answer is 'Fovea centralis'
