Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer

Correct Option: C

Here's a breakdown of why the correct answer is D: * **I. For a long-sighted person, close objects appear blurred:** This statement is correct. Long-sightedness (hyperopia) means the eye cannot focus on close objects properly. * **II. For a short-sighted person, distant objects appear blurred:** This statement is also correct. Short-sightedness (myopia) means the eye cannot focus on distant objects clearly. * **III. Short sight is corrected by using a pair of converging lenses:** This statement is also correct. Short sight (myopia) is corrected using diverging lenses, not converging lenses. Therefore, the correct statements are II and III.
