Solution

The correct option is D
fovea centralis

Fovea centralis is a small area of the retina of approximately 1.5 mm diameter situated within the macula lutea. At the fovea centralis, the retina is the thinnest as there are no supporting fibres of Mueller, no ganglion cells and no bipolar cells.
