Model Answer

C — Cornea

The cornea is responsible for most of the refraction of incoming light. The eye lens only provides finer adjustment of focal length.

Explanation

The textbook explicitly states: "Most of the refraction for the light rays entering the eye occurs at the outer surface of the cornea." The eye lens only fine-tunes focus. Students often incorrectly choose "Eye lens" — remember, the lens handles accommodation, not the bulk of refraction. Cornea is the correct answer.
