Solution

The correct option is A Aqueous humour
Aqueous humour is a transparent, gelatinous fluid similar to plasma. It is present between the lens and the cornea. It helps in protection of the eye, provides nutrition to the eye, and allows exchange of gases & other substances between the eye & air. It also helps in maintaining the pressure in the eye.
