Solution
The correct option is B Eye There is convergence of cephalopod with that of vertebrate. The one of teh common character is one of the convergence is the camera eye. The eyes of most cephalopods are very similar to the vertebrates. They consist of two chambers which are separated by a lens. The lens is responsible for projection of an image onto the retina. In both cases, the eyeball is moved by the extra-ocular muscles. The lens must be transparent, which is achieved by crystallin proteins. Both changes the refractive index of the lens from the center to the edge. Also, both have pupil that is capable of quick contractions.
