The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about what controls the size of the pupil in the eye. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are conjunctiva, cornea, iris, and retina. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Conjunctiva**: This is a membrane that covers the front of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids. It does not control the size of the pupil. - **Cornea**: This is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. It helps focus light but does not control pupil size. - **Iris**: This is the colored part of the eye that surrounds the pupil. It contains muscles that control the size of the pupil. - **Retina**: This is the layer at the back of the eye that detects light and sends signals to the brain. It does not control the pupil size. 4. **Conclusion**: The size of the pupil is controlled by the **iris**, which contains two types of muscles: - **Circular muscles**: These contract in bright light, making the pupil smaller. - **Radial muscles**: These contract in dark light, making the pupil larger. 5. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct answer is **iris** (Option 3). ---
