Since diabetes leads to blindness, it is logical that it impairs vision. Impaired vision may result in diminished sight, but the words are not synonymous. Impaired means damaged, while diminished means only lessened or decreased. Stagnation is the slowing or stopping of an action, which does not apply.
Pervasive means widespread and has a negative connotation. Pervasive conditions are serious and difficult to control. So, pervasive is the correct answer. Circumscribed means controlled or contained. Capacious means roomy or capable of holding a great quantity and is not applicable.
