Solution

The correct option is D ciliary muscles
A ciliary muscle that relaxes or tightens the zonules to enable the lens to change shape for focusing. The zonules are fibres that hold the lens suspended in position and enable it to change shape during accommodation and hence ciliary muscles hold eyes in position.
