Solution

The correct option is B it has no blood supply
Cornea is avascular, i.e. has no blood supply, therefore, cornea transplant in humans is almost never rejected. And it is avascular in order to be transparent so that we can see.
The cornea acts as the eye's outermost lens. It functions like a window that controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye.
