Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B: B) Lower than the unaffected eye.
When flushing a chemical from the eye, holding the affected eye lower than the unaffected one allows the contaminated water to drain away from the unaffected eye. This prevents cross-contamination and ensures thorough irrigation of the exposed eye.
