The key is E. Cortical blindness. [Cortical blindness is the total or partial loss of vision in a normal- appearing eye caused by damage to the brain's occipital cortex. Rarely, a patient with acquired cortical blindness may have little or no insight that they have lost vision, a phenomenon known as Anton– Babinski syndrome].
