The vitreous body is a gel-like substance that fills the posterior cavity of the eye, helping to stabilize the eye and give physical support to the retina. It is not removed or recycled every few hours, as it is a permanent part of the eye's structure. It does not fill the anterior cavity. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
