Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Normal visual acuity is 20/20 in each eye; the larger the denominator, the poorer the vision. Presbyopia is a decrease in accommodation which is observed by convergence (motion toward) of the axes of the eyeballs and pupillary constriction and is tested by having the person focus on a distant object.
