4 . Ans is C) her right hand to indicate she saw a mouse. though this question appears to be incomplete, correct answer from the options appears to be C. The 50% of optic nerve fibres from each side crossover to the other side which will be severed in a split brain patient thus he will be able to use only same side hand to point to the object as information will not go to other half. The question should ideally specify which eye is being tested and not just the visual field.
