Which type of scan is used on the eye to measure the layer of blood vessels?

The correct answer is B. Retinal scan. A retinal scan captures the unique pattern of blood vessels located in the retina at the back of the eye.

Why each option

A retinal scan captures the unique pattern of blood vessels located in the retina at the back of the eye.

AFacial recognition scan

Facial recognition analyzes the geometry and features of the face such as distance between eyes and nose shape, not blood vessels in the eye.

BRetinal scanCorrect

The retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that contains a dense network of blood vessels forming a pattern unique to each individual. A retinal scanner uses low-intensity infrared light directed through the pupil to map this vascular pattern, making it one of the most accurate biometric identifiers available.

CIris scan

An iris scan captures the textured, colored ring surrounding the pupil, not the blood vessel layer behind it.

DSignature kinetics scan

Signature kinetics measures the behavioral dynamics of how a person writes their signature, such as speed and pressure, and has no relation to the eye.
