O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/O/N/23

Explanation
Accommodation for Near Vision
Steps:
- Vehicle starts distant, requiring relaxed ciliary muscles and flat lens for focus.
- As vehicle approaches, eye accommodates to track closer object.
- Accommodation involves ciliary muscles contracting to make lens more convex.
- This increases lens curvature, bending light more for sharp near focus.
Why C is correct:
- In accommodation, suspensory ligaments slacken, allowing lens elastic recoil to become more convex, per the near point of vision principle.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Ciliary muscles contract (not relax) to enable lens convexity for near focus.
- B: Iris circular muscles contract for pupil constriction in bright light or near vision, not primary for distance change.
- D: Pupil constricts (becomes smaller) during accommodation for near objects.
Final answer: C
