The correct option is D The choroid and iris of eye

Choroid is the posterior portion of the vascular middle tunic of the eyeball, lined on the inside by a layer of darkly pigmented cells; it provides the main blood supply to the back of the eye and gives rise to the ciliary body and the iris anteriorly.
