Solution

The correct option is D iris

Iris is a tissue inside the eye that has a hole in the centre called the pupil. Iris contains muscles that allow the pupil to become larger (dilate) and smaller (constrict). The iris regulates the amount of light that enters your eye by adjusting the size of the pupil opening.

In bright light, the iris closes and makes the pupil opening smaller to restrict the amount of light that enters your eye. While in dim light, the iris opens or dilates and makes the pupil opening larger to increase the amount of light that enters your eye.
