Final answer:
Blind spots on a vehicle are areas that cannot be seen through the rear or side view mirrors, and they typically refer to the left and right rear corners near the vehicle. In human vision, a blind spot is an area of the visual field with no photoreceptor cells due to the optic nerve passing through the retina.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question 'What are blind spots on a vehicle?' can be answered with option b): Areas near the left and right rear corners of your vehicle that you can't see in your rear-view mirrors or with your peripheral vision. Blind spots are specific areas where the driver's view is obstructed. These spots cannot be seen by looking through the rear or side view mirrors, making it necessary for drivers to turn their heads to check for other vehicles before changing lanes. In the context of human vision, a blind spot is an area in the visual field that corresponds to the lack of light-detecting photoreceptor cells on the optic disc of the retina where the optic nerve passes through the optic disc. Because there are no cells to detect light on the optic disc, the corresponding part of the field of vision is not perceived. Both in driving and in vision, the term 'blind spot' refers to areas that are not visible.
