ANSWER: [A]
Explanation: Correct option: (a) The near point of his eyes has receded away. The student can clearly see the blackboard but cannot read his textbook, which means he suffers from hypermetropia (farsightedness). In this defect, the near point of the eye shifts farther away than normal, making nearby objects appear blurred.
