A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint:We are given a statement and asked to check whether it is true or false. In the statement blind spot is mentioned, first know the meaning of blind spot and what its function is. Then check whether only blind people have blind spots or every human being has blind spots.

Complete answer:
Given a statement, blind spot is found in the eyes of a blind person only.First let us know what is blind spot is. Blind spot is found in the human eye, it is a spot where the optic nerve connects to the retina. This spot doesn’t have any light sensitive cells, so this spot is known as blind spot.
It is said that blind spot is found only in the eyes of a blind person, which is completely incorrect as blind spot is present in every human eye, if it is absent in a human the information from the eye will not be sent to the brain. Therefore, blind spots are found in every human being.Hence, the answer is false.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Note:By seeing the term blind spot, students might get confused that it is related to blind person only. But always remember blind spots are present in every human eye. It’s the spot where optic nerves connect the retina and message from the eye and sent to the brain. It has no photoreceptors due to which there is no image formed on this spot.
