Correct Answer » C
Explanation

– The image shows vision loss in the same side of both eyes’ visual fields: the Right field of the Right eye and the Right field of the Left eye.
– This pattern is called homonymous hemianopia, characterized by same-side visual field loss in both eyes.
– It arises from lesions in the post-chiasmal visual pathway, including the optic tract, lateral geniculate nucleus, optic radiations, or occipital cortex.
