The correct answer is B. Retina.

Explanation

The retina is a term to refer to the layer of tissue that is behind the eyeball, it is sensitive to light, so it is known as a photoreceptor due to the specialized cells located on it that are known as cones and rods as wells as neurons. Through these, the images that pass through the lens of the eye are focused and become nervous signals; these nerve signals travel through the nervous system and reach the brain's neurons where they are processed. This tissue is mainly red, because of the blood vessels around it. So, the correct answer is B. Retina.

Botulinum toxin is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-negative bacterium. The toxin actually consists of 7 related toxins
Bess [88]

Answer:

A. Botulinum toxin possesses a heavy chain and a light chain, each of which takes part in the toxicity. The binding of the protein and its invasion within a nerve cell is permitted by the heavy chain. After the entry is permitted, the light chain functions like a protease and chops proteins, which would usually permit neurotransmitters to discharge out from the cell. This is basically a commotion of exocytosis or the discharging of neurotransmitters.  

The acetylcholine, that is, the obstructed neurotransmitter generally conducts a nerve impulse to a muscle, allowing the muscle to contract. By inhibiting the neurotransmitter, the botulinum toxin results in its distinctive flaccid paralysis.  

B. The small doses of the sterile, purified botulinum toxin when used in a medical setting as an injectable form prevent the release of a chemical known as acetylcholine by the nerve cells, which signal contraction of the muscles. By selectively interfering with the underlying tendency of the muscles to contract, the prevailing frown lines are smoothed out, and in the majority of the cases are almost invisible for a week.
