Solution

The correct option is B expands
Ciliary muscle contracts to make the eye lens thicker, which reduces the focal length and thus enables us to see nearby objects.

Ciliary muscle expands/relaxes to make the eye lens thinner and thereby increases the focal length to enable us to see distant objects.
