Correct answer is B
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is an eye defect characterized by the inability of the eye to focus light on the retina. Myopia is characterized by the ability to see nearby objects clearly while distant objects appear blurred. It occurs when the eyeball is elongated or the cornea is too curved, causing the incoming light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.
