Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ocular trauma. Unequal pupil size, known as anisocoria, can be caused by trauma to the eye or head, leading to damage to the nerves controlling pupil size. This results in one pupil becoming fixed and dilated while the other constricts normally. Normal variation in pupil size (choice
A) is unlikely to cause such a drastic difference. Age-related changes (choice
B) typically result in bilateral changes rather than unilateral. Excessive light exposure (choice
D) can cause temporary pupil constriction but not fixed dilation and constriction pattern seen in the scenario.
