The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what happens to the pupil of the eye when a lot of light enters it. 2. **Identifying the Role of the Iris**: The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil. It adjusts the amount of light that enters the eye. 3. **Response to Bright Light**: When there is a lot of light (bright light), the iris reacts by contracting. This means that it reduces the size of the pupil. 4. **Mechanism of Contraction**: The contraction of the iris decreases the area of the pupil, limiting the amount of light that can enter the eye. This is a protective mechanism to prevent damage to the retina from excessive light. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, when a lot of light enters our eyes, the iris contracts the pupil. The correct answer to the question is that the iris makes the pupil contract. ### Final Answer: The iris contracts the pupil when a lot of light enters the eyes. ---
