Solution

The correct option is C Astigmatism
We can use cylindrical lens in Astigmatism as here either the front surface of your eye (cornea) or the lens, inside your eye, has mismatched curves. Instead of having one curve like a round ball, the surface is egg shaped, thus here we use cylindrical lens Hence option 'C' is correct.
