Due to Accommodation, the human eye can focus objects at different distances.
The accommodation of an eye is its reflex to adjust itself in response to focusing on a near object and then suddenly focusing on a faraway object. 

Option B is correct.

8.8.6 Pacemaker The impulse or command which starts the hearticles beat arises in "Pacemaker" (sino-atrial node, the "SAN") located in the walls of the right auricle rial (Fig. 8.9). This impulse is relayed to the ventricles and with the help of special conducting fibres. ole). The Pacemaker (SAN) is present near the opening of the superior vena cava while the AVN node (atrio-venticular node) is found near the interauricular septum near the tricuspid valve. A bundle of muscle fibres called 'Bundle of HIS' begins from and extends to the interventricular septum. Bundle of HIS consists of branches of fibres running along the wall of the ventricle, called 'Purkinje fibres'. All these together form a system which creates an impulse and conducts it to every part of the heart.
