Solution

The correct option is B Myopia
Myopia, also known as near-sightedness. A person with myopia can see nearby objects clearly but cannot see distant objects distinctly. This defect can be corrected by using concave lens.
Hypermetropia, also known as far-sightedness. A person with hypermetropia can see distant objects clearly but is unable to see the nearby objects distinctly. This defect can be corrected by using convex lens.
Conjunctivitis: This is an infection of the conjunctiva. The causative microbes can be bacteria, virus, etc. This disease is transmitted through contact and can be prevented by maintaining personal hygiene.
Colour blindness is a condition where a person cannot distinguish between red and green colours due to defect in cone cells.
