Answer is A. he may be blind or unable to see clearly.

Explanation:

The occipital lobes are found at the posterior part of the cerebral cortex, and its responsibility is for vision.

So any damage to the occipital lobes will affect vision or visual, and this can result to hallucinations and illusions.
