Muscle around the pupil that adjusts the opening to allow light to enter the eye:
A
iris
B
lens
C
cornea
D
retina
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sphincter muscle fibers are located near the pupillary margin and are slightly anterior to the pigmented epithelium of the iris. It encircles the pupil of the iris and functions to constrict the pupil in bright light via the pupillary light reflex or during accommodation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pupil: The pupil is the opening at the center of the iris through which light passes. The iris adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light that enters the eye. Retina: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.

Detailed explanation-3: -The iris, or the colored part of your eye, controls the amount of light passing through. From there, it then hits the lens. This is the clear structure inside the eye that focuses light rays onto the retina.

Detailed explanation-4: -The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye by opening and closing the pupil. The iris uses muscles to change the size of the pupil. These muscles can control the amount of light entering the eye by making the pupil larger (dilated) or smaller (constricted).

Detailed explanation-5: -Parts of the Eye The sclera (the white part of the eye) is the opaque, fibrous, protective outer layer. The pupil is the hole located in the center of the iris. It allows light to enter the eye. The pupil appears black because light rays entering the pupil are absorbed by the tissues inside the eye.
