Solution

The correct option is A Fovea centralis
The retina is the neural and sensory layer of the eye ball. A small oval, yellow area of the retina lying exactly opposite the centre of the cornea is named macula lutea or yellow spot which has in its middle a shallow depression, called the fovea contrails, which contains only cones. The ability for vision is highest in the fovea.
