In System Preferences, the Desktop/ Screensaver option has disappeared and I am unable to change my desktop and screensaver!

The only way I can change my desktop is by right-clicking on an image and clicking the "Set desktop picture" option. Otherwise, there is no other way I can change my desktop. My software is updated and everything, I don't understand where the Desktop/ Screensaver option has gone!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
