Explanation

Answer: B - subjective refraction.

The refraction that a patient likes the most is known as the subjective refraction. Typically, subjective refraction is a refinement of the objective refraction. It can be gathered by asking the patient to look through a phoropter at some type of screen or chart while the examiner switches through a variety of spherical and cylindrical lenses and asks the patient which one they prefer.
