Why (B) is correct: The vitreous humor is a transparent, jelly-like substance that fills the large space behind the lens and in front of the retina. This chamber is called the vitreous chamber.
Why other options are wrong:
- (A) in front of lens: The space in front of the lens is occupied by the aqueous humor, divided into anterior and posterior chambers.
- (C) between lens and iris: This specific space is the posterior chamber, filled with aqueous humor.
