Solution

The correct option is C Choroid
The choroid runs behind the retina and at the front of the eye, forming the ciliary body. As it contains many blood cells, the choroid supplies the eye with nutrients and oxygen apart from removing waste.
The choroid also has a high concentration of a pigment called as melanin in its cells. It is this pigment that prevents internal reflection within the eye preventing us from receiving a blurred image.
