Solution

The correct option is B Eye
Sclerotic or sclera is the external or outermost layer of eye. It is composed of dense connective tissue and contains collagen and elastic fibres. It maintains the shape of eye and also protects it. The anterior portion of sclera is called cornea which absorbs oxygen from the air and helps to focus the light rays entering the eye.
So, the correct answer is 'Eye'.
