Answer
A is False and R is True.
Explanation
The image formed on the retina is actually inverted (upside down) and real.
The brain receives inverted images from the retina through the optic nerve and then processes and interprets these images as upright. Additionally, the brain merges the two slightly different images from each eye into a single cohesive image due to the overlapping visual fields.
