a
Sclera
b
Retina
c
Choroid
d
Cornea
detailed solution
Correct option is C
Choroid is a highly vascularised posterior portion of the vascular tunic which lines most of the internal surface of the sclera. Its numerous blood vessels provide nutrients to the posterior surface of the retina. The choroid also contains melanocytes that produce the pigment melanin, which causes this layer to appear bluish in colour.Talk to our academic expert!
