as the ciliary muscle relaxes, the ciliary zonule (suspensory ligament) tightens and flattens the
lens, allowing for distant vision.

true

false

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we recall the physiology of the eye for distant vision. When the ciliary muscle relaxes, the ciliary zonule (suspensory ligament) becomes taut. This tautness pulls on the lens, flattening it. A flattened lens has less refractive power, which is suitable for focusing on distant objects (distant vision). So the statement is correct.

Answer:

A. True
