Correct option is B
The pupil plays a critical role in regulating the amount of light entering the eye.
Explanation:
● The pupil is the opening in the center of the iris, which adjusts its size depending on the brightness of the environment.
● In bright light, the pupil contracts (miosis) to reduce light entry, and in dim light, it dilates (mydriasis) to allow more light.
● This dynamic adjustment protects the retina from damage and optimizes vision.
Information Booster:
● The iris controls the size of the pupil and thus indirectly regulates light entry.
● The cornea and crystalline lens focus light onto the retina but do not control light entry.
● Proper pupil function is vital for clear and comfortable vision.
Additional Information:
- (A) Cornea: Focuses light but does not regulate its amount.
- (C) Crystalline lens: Helps focus light but does not adjust its entry.
- (D) Sclera: Protects the eye but has no role in light regulation.
