The correct answer is C) distant object is focused before the retina.

Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a refractive error where light from distant objects is focused in front of the retina instead of directly on it. This results in distant objects appearing blurred.

In myopia, nearby objects are typically focused correctly on the retina (or even slightly behind, requiring less accommodation effort compared to a normal eye), which is why nearby vision is usually clear. Hyperopia (farsightedness) is when light is focused behind the retina.
