Answer: Valid

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value refers to the probability of obtaining a more extreme value than the value observed in the test when the null hypothesis is true.

The null hypothesis is that the drug is not effective.

when vision loss decreases it shows that there is less effectiveness on the drug (Alternative hypothesis)

For these reasons the correct option is valid
