Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is Option C: C) Remove it with a moist cotton-tipped applicator.

If a foreign object is visible and not embedded in the eye, gently removing it with a moist cotton-tipped applicator is the safest method. Rubbing the eye or using sharp objects can cause further damage or embed the object deeper.
