Solution

The correct option is D Six
Six extraocular muscles facilitate eye movement. These muscles arise from the common tendinous ring in the orbit, the eye cavity and attach to the eyeball. The six muscles are the lateral, medial, inferior and superior rectus muscles and the inferior and superior oblique muscles. The muscles, when contracting, cause movement of the eyeball, by pulling the eyeball towards the muscle.
