Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Ciliary muscles are present within the ciliary body and are involved in controlling the shape of the lens. While focusing on the distant object, ciliary muscles are relaxed. The relaxed ciliary muscles make the suspensory ligaments attached to the ciliary body become taut. The taut suspensory ligaments make the lens relatively flat in shape by stretching it in all the directions.
