• B. iris and pupil
• C. ciliary muscles
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C

ciliary muscles

Explanation

Ciliary muscle- The ciliary muscle Is a ring of smooth muscle in the central layer of the eye that maintains the lens in place and assists in the changing shape of the lens to keep the eyes focused when viewing objects at varying distances.

1. The ciliary muscle also controls the flow of aqueous humor fluid.
2. The muscles not only keep the lens in place but also aid the eyesight.
3. When the muscles relax, they draw on the lens and flatten it, allowing the eye to see far away things.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) ciliary muscles.
