Highest visual resolution is seen in retina at:

A
Macula lutea
B
Foveola centralis
C
Blind spot
D
None of the above
High-Yield Explanation
The macula lutea contains a central depression, the fovea centralis or foveola, with a diameter of 0.4 mm, where visual resolution is highest. Here, all elements except pigment epithelium cone photoreceptors are displaced laterally. The minute size of the foveola is the reason why the visual axes must be directed with great accuracy in order to achieve the most discriminative vision.
