Some People Explain Vision by Saying That a Picture from the Retina

Some people explain vision by saying that a picture from the retina is sent to the brain. This has some validity in that:

A) the neural pathway from the retina to the primary visual cortex preserves spatial relationships
B) the abstract code from the retina is decoded in the primary visual cortex into an image
C) the representation in the primary visual cortex is an accurate reflection of the object
D) the perception of an image is reflected in the primary visual cortex in order to maintain the correct context in the brain
