A Correct answer
Explanation

The anterior segment which lies between the cornea and lens is filled with a clear watery fluid called the aqueous humor or simply aqueous. The aqueous humor is the sole source of nutrients and oxygen for the lens as well as the endothelium layer of the cornea. Therefore, the proper flow is critical for the health of these structures.
