Model Answer

Option A — Ciliary muscles of your eye contract and the eye lens becomes thick.

Explanation

From section 10.1.1: when looking at nearby objects, ciliary muscles contract, increasing lens curvature, making it thicker, and decreasing focal length. "Relaxed" muscles make the lens thin (for distant vision) — eliminate B and D. Thin lens is for distant objects — eliminate C.
