General KnowledgePhysics
- A25 cm
- B1 m
- C2.5 mm
- D2.5 cm
Explanation
The crystalline lens of a normal human eye has a focal length of roughly 17–25 mm, i.e., about 2.5 cm, with the retina sitting about 17 mm behind the lens. The 25 cm figure is the least distance of distinct vision (near point), not the focal length, and 1 m or 2.5 mm are optically implausible. Hence D.
