Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The constriction of pupils is controlled by the autonomic nervous system and is often triggered by emotional responses such as disgust or aversion. Therefore, Jason's disgust towards brussels sprouts is most likely to cause constriction of his pupils. Increased retinal disparity, accommodation of the lens, and enlargement of the fovea are unlikely to occur in this situation.
