Question

Which of the following is transparent in nature?

• A. Conjuctiva
• B. Cornea
• C. Iris
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and B

A. Conjunctiva is a transparent membrane that lines the eyelids. It protects the delicate cornea.

B. Cornea is a transparent layer that forms the front of eyes. It is the anterior portion of sclera, a dense connective tissue which maintains the shape of eye and also protects it.

C. Iris is an opaque and pigmented structure in the eye. It controls the size of pupil and thus, regulates amount of light entering the eye.

Hence, conjunctiva and cornea are transparent. So, both options A and B are correct.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
