Question
Select the correct pair —
(a) Sclera—Absorbs excess light within the eyeball
(b) Choroid—Provides definite shape of the eyeball
(c) Lens—Causes refraction of light and accomplishes accommodation
(d) Retina—Holds the lens with the help of the suspensory ligaments
Answer
(c) Lens—Causes refraction of light and accomplishes accommodation
Explanation
The lens of the eye refracts (bends) light rays so that they focus on the retina to produce a clear image. It also changes its shape to focus on objects at different distances, a process called accommodation. Other options are incorrect because the sclera provides protection and shape, the choroid supplies nutrients and absorbs stray light, and the retina contains photoreceptor cells but doesn’t hold the lens.
