Solution

The correct option is C

Genetic defect


Colour blindness is a genetic condition which is caused by a difference in how one or more of the light-sensitive cells found in the retina of the eye respond to certain colours. Sometimes physical or chemical damage of the eye or the optic nerve can also cause this.
