After suffering a stroke, a patient can see objects anywhere in front of him but pays attention only to objects in his right field of vision. When asked to describe these objects, he has difficulty judging their size and distance. What part of the brain was likely damaged by the stroke? \begin{equation} \begin{array}{ll}{\text { (A) the left frontal lobe }} & {\text { (C) the right parietal lobe }} \\ {\text { (B) the right frontal lobe }} & {\text { (D) the corpus callosum }}\end{array} \end{equation}
