Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) nearby objects clearly

Explanation

Myopia (near-sightedness) lets a person see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred.

The eyeball is too long, so the image of a distant object forms in front of the retina.

It is corrected using a concave (diverging) lens.
