Solution

The correct option is A Cornea
Cornea is the eye’s clear and protective outer layer. Along with the sclera it serves as a barrier against dirt and germs that can cause eye damage. A cornea transplant is often referred to as keratoplasty or a corneal graft. It can be used to improve sight, cure blindness, relieve pain and to treat severe infection or damage. Thus the correct answer is option C
