(N/A) The person is suffering from Myopia (near-sightedness),as they cannot see distant objects clearly beyond a certain point ($12\, m$ in this case).
The corrective lens to be used is a Concave Lens (diverging lens).
$A$ concave lens diverges the incoming light rays from a distant object,making them appear to originate from the person's far point $(12\, m)$. This allows the eye lens to focus the image correctly on the retina.
The diagrams are as shown in the provided image.
