• B. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true
• C. Both the statements are true
• D. Both the statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true

The chamber just behind the cornea consists of aqueous humour. Vitreous humour is found in the posterior chambers of the eye (behind the lens). The choroid layer of the eye consists of dark black melanin pigment. It prevents light rays from scattering and reflecting inside the eye.
