4
Rationale 1: The cornea is the window of the eye. It is the clear, transparent part of the sclera and forms the anterior one sixth of the eye.
Rationale 2: The sclera supports and protects the structures of the eye.
Rationale 3: The conjunctiva protects the eye and produces a lubricating fluid that prevents the eye from becoming too dry.
Rationale 4: The iris responds to the light coming through the cornea by making the pupil larger or smaller, thereby controlling the amount of light that enters the eye.
