C Correct answer
Explanation

In myopia (nearsightedness), the eyeball is too long or the cornea is too curved, causing light rays to focus at a point IN FRONT of the retina instead of on it. This is why distant objects appear blurry while nearby objects are clear. Convex lenses correct this by diverging light before it enters the eye.
