ALess than 1 nanometre
BAbout 1 cm
CAbout 10 µm
DAbout 0.1 mm at the near point of 25 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. About 0.1 mm at the near point of 25 cm
As per your syllabus, the human eye's resolution limit is ~0.1 mm at the near point (25 cm). Cells are smaller, so microscopes are needed.
