The key is D. Carotid artery. [Carotid artery divides to internal and external carotid of which internal
continues as middle cerebral ultimately. But just before it becomes middle cerebral internal carotid
gives rise to ophthalmic branch. So middle cerebral occlusion may give partial visual loss but not
complete mono-ocular blindness. For complete mono-ocular blindness occlusion should be proximal to
ophthalmic artery i.e. either in internal carotid or more proximally to carotid artery].
