cornea
B
retina
C
vitreous humor
D
convex lens

Eye floaters are small bits of protein suspended in the gel-like fluid that fills the space inside the eyeball. This fluid is called the vitreous humor, so the correct choice is vitreous humor. The cornea and lens help focus light, while the retina detects it.
