Solution
The correct option is C Birds
The pecten is a comb-like structure of blood vessels belonging to the choroid in the eye of a bird. It is a non-sensory, pigmented structure that projects into the vitreous body from the point where the optic nerve enters the eyeball. It nourishes the retina and controls the pH of the vitreous body. High level of enzyme alkaline phosphatase activity in pecten oculi, has been linked to the transport of nutrient molecules from highly vascularized pecten oculi into vitreous and then into retinal cells for nourishment. Hence, option C is correct.
