Correct answer: B — Age-related macular degeneration

Drusen at the macula are characteristic of age-related macular degeneration. Diabetic retinopathy has microaneurysms and haemorrhages. Glaucoma primarily affects peripheral vision. Cataract is lens opacification. Retinal detachment presents with sudden visual field loss and floaters.
