Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. The comb-like structure of blood vessels present in the choroid of birds eye is known as pecten. The pecten helps birds to maintain a sharp image by reducing the number of blood vessels coming in the front area of the eye. It helps to focus on retina making the field of the image larger. It also nourishes the retina and helps to maintain the pH in the vitreous jelly.
