The correct answer is B

Fleischer rings are pigmented rings in the peripheral cornea, resulting from iron deposition in basal epithelial cells. They are usually yellowish to dark-brown, and may be complete or broken.

Fleischer rings are indicative of keratoconus, a degenerative corneal condition that causes the cornea to thin and change to a conic shape.
