Visual information travels from the eye to the optic chiasm, where some fibers cross over and some stay on the same side. The fibers then project to the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the thalamus, which then projects to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Therefore, the correct order is optic chiasm, LGN, occipital lobe. Choice D is the only option with this order.
