Solution

The correct option is C Biconvex, crystalline and adjustable
Lens is a crystalline, biconvex and an adjustable structure which bends the light rays. It separates the aqueous humour and the vitreous humour. Ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments attached to the lens relax or contract to adjust the shape of the lens. This adjustment of lens is necessary to view objects at different distances and to focus light rays on the retina.
