Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Visual information from the retina first passes through the optic disk, then to the optic chiasm where some of the fibers cross over to the opposite side of the brain, then to the lateral geniculate body of the thalamus, and finally to the visual cortex of the occipital lobe. Therefore, the correct order is 1, 3, 4, 2. Choice C matches this order.
