Solution

The correct option is A Pupil contracts
In order to reduce the amount of light entering into the eye, pupils constrict, and this constriction helps to decrease the strong light, which can be harmful to cells in the retina. The retina is the innermost layer of the eye which contains photoreceptor cells, that are useful for the formation of the image and perceiving an object. Another advantage of constriction of the pupil is to improve the clarity of image by blocking some of the rays of light, which can optically cause distortion of the image. The size of the pupil is controlled by the action of the pupillary sphincter muscle and dilator muscle.
