Solution

The correct option is A Choroid
The vascular layer of the eye, that lies between the retina and the sclera is called as choroid. It contains the retinal pigmented epithelial cells and provides oxygen and nourishment to the retina. The dark-colored pigment in the choroid absorbs light and limits reflections within the eye, that could degrade vision.
