Solution

The correct option is D the space between lens and cornea is filled with ciliary muscles

The space between the cornea and the lens is called the aqueous chamber and is filled with thin watery transparent viscous fluid called aqueous humor. It supplies nutrients to these structures as well as to the lens. Thus, option $C$ is not true for human eye.
