Verified step by step guidance

Understand that the retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye where images are projected.

Recognize that the lens of the eye inverts the image, meaning it flips the image upside down.

Acknowledge that the image is also reversed from left to right due to the way light enters the eye and is focused by the lens.

Realize that the brain processes this inverted and reversed image, correcting it so that we perceive the world as right side up and correctly oriented.

Conclude that the correct description of the image on the retina is 'upside down and reversed from left to right.'
