Solution

The correct option is B Vitrein
The vitreous chamber is filled with a viscous, jelly-like vitreous humour containing 99% water, some salt, mucoprotein (vitrein) and hyluronic acid. Vitrein is a collagen like protein that, with hyaluronic acid, accounts for the gel state of the vitreous humor.
