Solution

The correct option is B

Short sightedness or myopia


Nearsightedness or myopia is the most common refractive error of the eye. Myopia (nearsightedness) is a condition where objects up close appear clearly, while objects far away appear blurry. With myopia, the light comes to focus in front of the retina instead of on the retina.
