Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Lazy eye is also known as amblyopia, which is a condition where one eye has weaker vision than the other due to lack of use during early childhood development. Myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia are all different refractive errors of the eye that affect the ability to see clearly at various distances.
