Answer 1

Answer: The correct option is:

B) images are not properly focused on the retina.

Farsightedness (hyperopia) and nearsightedness (myopia) are both refractive errors where the images are not properly focused on the retina. In hyperopia, the light entering the eye focuses behind the retina, causing distant objects to appear clearer than close ones. In myopia, the light focuses in front of the retina, resulting in clear vision for close objects but blurry vision for distant ones.
