Solution
The correct option is B Cornea Cornea is the tissue that is most frequently donated and transplanted. It is a contact lens-sized, clear piece of tissue which is present in front of the eye. It is practically impossible to transplant the whole eye, as nerve fibers once cut can never be reconnected.
