Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Light enters the eye through the cornea, the clear outer layer of the eye. It then passes through the pupil, which is the hole in the center of the iris, the colored part of the eye. Finally, it passes through the lens, which helps to focus the light onto the retina at the back of the eye. Therefore, the correct order is cornea, pupil, lens, which is represented by option C.
