The colour of the eye depends on the pigment present in the iris of the eye.
It is a thin, structure in the eye which is responsible for controlling the size of the pupil. Hence, it affects the amount of light which reaches the retina.
Iris is located just in front of the lens.
The color of the human eye 'depends on the 'pigment present' in the Iris of the eye'.
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
The small, circular structure that is present in the eyes of birds and mammals is called Iris and this structure is responsible for giving the unique eye color. Irises have in them the pigment called Melanin, and depending on the amount and distribution of melanin, the resulting eye color appears. Black eyes have 'more melanin' than grey or blue eyes.
