Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The parts labelled are:

III - PUPIL

IV - SCLERA

The sclera, cornea, eyelids, eyelashes, and bony orbit all protect the eye from injury. 

Sclera - labelled IV

  • The tough, white, fibrous tissue that surrounds the eyeball
  • Helps maintain the eye's shape
  • Protects the eye from injury
  • Extends from the cornea to the optic nerve at the back of the eye

Cornea 

  • The clear, curved layer in front of the iris and pupil
  • Protects the front of the eye
  • Helps focus light on the retina at the back of the eye

Eyelids 

  • Thin flaps of skin and muscle that can cover the eye
  • Reflexively close quickly (blink) to protect the eye from foreign objects, wind, dust, insects, and very bright light

Eyelashes - labelled II

  • Short, tough hairs that grow from the edge of the eyelid
  • Keep insects and foreign particles away from the eye
