A Correct answer
Explanation

The cornea is indeed avascular (has no blood vessels), making it the only part of the human body without a direct blood supply. It receives oxygen directly from the air and gets nutrients from tears and the aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). This transparency is essential for vision - blood vessels would scatter light and impair vision.
