Solution

The correct option is B Behind the lens
Vitreous humour is transparent gel filled in space between the lens and retina. This space is called the vitreous chamber. Vitreous humour is a clear and colorless fluid. 99% of vitreous humour consists of water and the rest is composed of a mixture of proteins, sugars, salts, and collagen.
Hence, the chamber containing vitreous humour is present behind the lens.
So, the correct answer is 'Behind the lens'.
