Visual processing area of the brain
A
occipital lobe
B
temporal lobe
C
parietal lobe
D
frontal lobe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The occipital lobe is the visual processing area of the brain. It is associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -The occipital lobes sit at the back of the head and are responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion. Damage to the occipital lobe can include: Difficulty with locating objects in environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -The visual cortex is the primary cortical region of the brain that receives, integrates, and processes visual information relayed from the retinas. It is in the occipital lobe of the primary cerebral cortex, which is in the most posterior region of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The occipital lobe is the seat of most of the brain’s visual cortex, allowing you not only to see and process stimuli from the external world, but also to assign meaning to and remember visual perceptions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The visual cortex is one of the most-studied parts of the mammalian brain, and it is here that the elementary building blocks of our vision – detection of contrast, colour and movement – are combined to produce our rich and complete visual perception.
