Solution

The correct answer is "the ciliary muscle relaxes and the lens stays flat".

Here's the step by step explanation:

  1. When you look at an object in the distance, your eye needs to adjust in order to focus the light from that object onto your retina. This process is called accommodation.

  2. The ciliary muscle, which is a ring of smooth muscle in the eye's middle layer, controls the shape of the lens.

  3. When you look at something far away, the ciliary muscle relaxes.

  4. As the ciliary muscle relaxes, the tension on the lens is reduced.

  5. This causes the lens to become less curved or flatter, allowing you to focus on the distant object.
