○ smell

Explanation:

Question 3

The prefix "osmo - " is related to the concept of diffusion or osmosis (movement of solvent through a semi - permeable membrane), and "diffuse" is related to the idea of spreading out (diffusion). "Sleeping" is related to somn - or hypn - prefixes, "beside" is related to para - or juxta - prefixes, and "smell" is related to olfact - or osmo - (but in the context of smell, the more common prefix for smell is olfact -, and "osmo - " in medical/biological terms is more about diffusion). So the correct option is the one related to diffuse.

Strabismus is a misalignment of the eyes. Presbyopia is a condition related to aging and loss of near - vision ability. Macular Degeneration affects the macula of the retina. Retinal Detachment is the condition where the retina becomes separated from the choroid (the layer behind the retina). So when the retina is separated from the choroid, it is Retinal Detachment.

Answer:

A. diffuse
