OD stands for "oculus dexter" which means right eye in Latin. Therefore, the correct choice is C which specifies that the measurement was taken from the right eye. The patient's visual acuity is 20/30, which means that they can see at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 30 feet. Additionally, there was one error made during the test, indicated by the "-1". Therefore, the charting would be OD 20/30 - 1.
