Option by option

  • A. Lens opacity

    Lens opacity is unsupported by the symptom pattern or examination result.

  • B. Drooping upper lid

    Drooping upper lid does not explain the stated eyelids feature.

  • C. Inward rotation of eyelid margin (correct)

    Correct. Inward rotation of eyelid margin directly fits the key clue in the scenario.
