Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) Distant objects clearly

Explanation

In myopia (nearsightedness), a person cannot see distant objects clearly, although near objects look clear.

The image of a distant object forms in front of the retina, because the eyeball is too long or the lens too curved. It is corrected with a concave lens.
