\nThe correct answer is A.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement A is incorrect because the human eye contains a converging lens (convex lens), not a diverging lens, which focuses light onto the retina.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement B is correct as the retina has photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals. Statement C is correct; the image formed on the retina is real and inverted. Statement D is correct; binocular vision allows for depth perception and accurate judgment of relative positions.
