Solution

The correct option is C Tears
The lacrimal gland above the eye serves to secrete tears which is dilute salt solution and is spread across the eyeball by blinking. Tears cleanse and moisten the eye surface. Enzymes are the biocatalysts which accelerate the bioreactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction. Hormones are secreted by endocrine glands directly into the blood. They target the cells having specific receptors for hormonal binding. Digestive juices are secreted by different parts of digestive system; not by eye glands. Option B is correct.
