The visual pathway begins with the retina, where light is transduced into neural signal. This signal then travels to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the thalamus before being sent to the primary visual cortex, also known as the striate cortex. Therefore, the correct order of the visual pathway is A) the retina, to the LGN, to the striate cortex.
