B) lens.
C) cornea.
D) retina.
Upside-down Image
The phenomenon where images projected onto the retina are perceived as upright due to the brain's processing, despite being inverted.
Retina
The light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the inner eye that converts light images into electrical signals sent to the brain.
- Elucidate the sequence of events in visual perception, starting from the entry of light into the eye to the creation of an image on the retina.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The retina is a layer of tissue at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) which convert light energy into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. The image formed by the light rays passing through the pupil is inverted (upside-down and reversed) on the retina, and the brain must interpret this image and flip it right-side-up.
