Question 11

• The iris is the colored part of the eye controlling pupil size, not a yellow spot on the retina.
• The lens focuses light, not a yellow spot on the retina.
• The optic disc is the blind spot, not the yellow spot.
• The macula (macula lutea) is the yellow - colored spot in the retina lateral to the optic nerve, responsible for central vision.

• "Sadness" is an emotional state, not the meaning of the Latin root "deprimere".
• The Latin word "deprimere" is composed of "de - " (down) and "primere" (press), so it means "to press down".
• "Having lethargy" refers to a state of tiredness, not related to the root meaning.
• "Moving backwards" is not the meaning of "deprimere".

Answer:

D. macula
