Hint: The retina of the eye capacitates a type of cell which helps us get a clear vision at night time. The vitamin transforms itself into a compound which is present in those cells and thus helps in having a good night vision.

Complete answer:
Amongst the given options we have been taught from our childhood that we get vitamin D from the sunlight and it is very helpful in making our bones stronger. Thus, we can easily say that vitamin D is not our correct answer.
The other options given are somewhat related to the eye but only one of them helps in getting a clear vision and whose deficiency can cause night blindness and rest the other vitamins are helpful in the maintenance of the eye. Talking about vitamin A, then this vitamin transforms itself into a compound known as rhodopsin which is a pigment present in the rods cells. Now these rods cells are a part of the retina which help in the night vision and without these we cannot see clearly at night. The vitamin A helps in increasing the rod cell and thus increasing the night vision.
On the other hand, the vitamin B and Care normal compounds which form accessory chemicals required for maintaining the eye. But the deficiency of the vitamin A can cause night blindness and if the condition worsens then it can lead to blindness also.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A as it is more essential and important than any other vitamin.

Note:
The vitamin C helps in the formation of Collagen which is responsible for maintaining the shape of the eye and it also protects the eye from free radicals present around us. The vitamin B also produces compounds which prevents a person from getting age related macular disorders.
