Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

The image of the figure stimulates Jeremiah's rods resulting in a less detailed image

Explanation:

The photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are two types of namely, the rods and the cones

The distribution of the rods and the cones on the retina is such that there are more rods per unit area and more widely spread over the retina than the cones which have a high concentration at the fovea centralis which is along the visual axis

Given that the image comes from the corner of Jerimiah's eye, the vision should be through the rods which are located away from the visual axis have low acuity, or lacking in clarity.
