The correct sequence for the structures along the visual pathway is: light enters the eye and is detected by the retina, the signal then travels through the optic nerve to the superior colliculus (involved in preliminary visual processing and eye movements), then to the thalamus (specifically the lateral geniculate nucleus, which acts as a relay center), and finally to the visual cortex for detailed processing. This makes option C the correct sequence.
