Correct Answer: Option (A) — Cornea

Concept & Option Breakdown

Standard Reference Verified

• Option (a) is correct: In eye transplantation (keratoplasty), only the clear, transparent outer layer called the cornea is harvested and transplanted. The whole eye is never transplanted.

Elimination Heuristic & Exam Approach

The cornea is an avascular tissue, which prevents immediate immune rejection and makes corneal grafting highly successful.
