Is that for real? I honestly don't think anyone I know would think that we see with rays going out of our eyes.

The only reason I doubted for a second that #1 was the answer was that the article is about misconception so I thought maybe there was something deeper to vision that I'd been mislead to believe.

EDIT: So I decided to test my statement and of the 3 coworkers I asked 2 of them got it wrong and the other one didn't answer.

However after explaining the answer all 3 were confused about the question because it is misleading itself. They all thought that the outward rays were in reference to the fact that the eye cannot absorb all of the rays and as such deflects some of the light back out. (something that the article even points out)

It's a loaded question designed to make people fail.
