Eye of the molluscan group that resembles vertebrate eye is (a) bivalvia (b) gastropoda (c) pelecypoda (d) cephalopoda.
Option D In cephalopoda paired eyes are large, efficient and bulge from the dorsolateral sides of the head. They bear striking resemblance to those of a vertebrate in that a cornea, iris, lens and retina are present. Lens projects an inverted image on the retina, as in the vertebrate eye. External muscle attachments enable limited movements of the eye. But the embryological development of the cephalopod eye is entirely different from that of the vertebrate eye, so that homologically they are different, for the vertebrate eye is formed as an outgrowth of the brain, while the cephalopod eye is formed by an ectodermal invagination.
