(B) Nystagmus of eye ball either vertically or horizontally is observed.
(C) Facial paralysis is one of the signs of vestibular disease.

ANSWER
(D) Blindness is common finding in animals affected with vestibular disease.
EXPLANATION
Vestibular disease commonly causes circling or staggering, abnormal nystagmus, and may be accompanied by facial nerve paralysis when peripheral structures are involved. Blindness is not a typical vestibular deficit because vision pathways are separate, so the statement describing blindness as a common finding is incorrect.
