A is a workman who works at a welding workshop in a factory. A has a history of previous eye disorders. Despite being aware of the same, A continues to work at the welding workshop. The very nature of work caused further strain on A's eyes and resulted in a permanent injury to A's eyes one day. Is A entitled to compensation and why?

A A is entitled to compensation from A's employer because A suffered an injury in the course of employment and the question of A's negligence is not relevant. Official answer
B A is entitled to compensation from A's employer but the quantum of compensation will be nominal due to A's contributory negligence.
C A is not entitled to compensation from A's employer because A suffering an injury to the eyes was perfectly expected due to A's previous eye disorders.
D A is not entitled to compensation from A's employer because A suffered the injury to the eyes due to previous eye disorders and not because of A's employment.
