Solution
The correct option is A Ciliary muscles The ciliary muscles are responsible for controlling the lens and the iris. This helps in the focusing of the vision. The muscle thickness can be adjusted to allow the focusing of the eye which is also known as the accommodation of the eye. The muscle contraction helps to change the thickness of the lens.
