Solution
The correct option is C Hypermetropia Hyperopia or hypermetropia, is a refractive error. Ideally, the cornea and lens, the two focusing structures in the eye, focus images directly on the surface of the retina. If the eye is too short, or the focusing power is too weak, the image is focused behind the retina. At the retinal surface, the image is blurred. Thus, the vision, too, is blurred.
