Solution

The correct option is C Cornea
  • Most of the light rays entering the eye get refracted at the outer surface of the eye, i.e., the cornea.
  • As light enters from air to the eye through the cornea, there is a huge change in the refractive index. As a result, the maximum bending takes place.
