Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Statement (A) is correct: Sclera is the outermost coat of the eye ball, providing structure and protection.
Statement (B) is correct: The sclera forms 5/6th of the outer layer of the eye ball, with the remaining portion being formed by the cornea.
Statement (C) is correct: The sclero
-corneal junction is also referred to as the limbus, which is where the sclera and cornea meet.
Statement (D) is incorrect: Sclera is often referred to as the "fibrous coat" of the eye rather than the "vascular coat," which is actually the term for the choroid. Thus, the correct answer is (1).
