Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The vitreous chamber is located in the back of the eye, behind the lens, and is also known as the posterior chamber. The anterior chamber is located in the front of the eye, between the cornea and the lens. Extraocular muscles are responsible for eye movements, and the trochlea is a small bony structure in the eye socket that helps to guide the movement of one of the extraocular muscles. Therefore, choices A, B, and C do not refer to the posterior chamber.
