Respuesta :

Answer:C) Jim has occipital lobe damage.

Explanation:

The occipital lobes are located in the middle of our visual perception system.

They are mostly protected from harm provided that they are found at the back of the brain however if we experience any major trauma they can be impacted in a way that it would result to a slightly changed in our visual perceptual system. There is a region in occipital known as Peristriate which helps us detect movement and color.

When a side of the occipital is harmed we may experience loss of vision , visual hallucinations and visual illusion where things seems distorted than they are real are like a small object looking bigger than it is.
