Solution

The correct option is A Junction of choroid and iris in eye ball
Thickening of choroid behind iris forms a ciliary body that consists of ciliary muscles. So, ciliary muscles are present at the junction of choroid and iris in the eyeball. Relaxation and contraction of ciliary muscles regulate the shape of the lens to focus on distant and near objects.
So, the correct answer is option A.
