Final answer:

The eye is a complex organ with various structures serving different functions. In the given groupings, certain terms do not belong, such as 'vitreous humor' in the tunic layers, 'superior rectus' in the vascular tunic, and 'proprioceptors' in the types of photoreceptors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The eye is composed of several structures that allow it to process light and contribute to vision. The groupings listed in the exercise are referring to these structures and their functions.

Choroid Sclera Vitreous humor Retina Group: Tunic Layers

Ciliary body Iris Superior rectus Choroid Group: Vascular Tunic

Pupil constriction Far vision Accommodation Bright light Group: Eye Functions

Proprioceptors Rods Cones Respond to light Group: Types of Photoreceptors

Ciliary body Iris Suspensory ligaments Ciliary zonule Group: Lens Attachment Structures

Inferior oblique Iris Superior rectus Inferior rectus Group: Extraocular Muscles

Retina Pigmented layer Photoreceptors Rods and cones Group: Layers of the Retina

To answer the student's question, here are the terms that do not belong and the correct group names:

Vitreous humor does not belong because it's part of the inner eye, not the tunics. Group name: Tunic Layers.

Superior rectus does not belong because it is an extraocular muscle, not part of the vascular tunic. Group name: Vascular Tunic.

Far vision does not belong because it's a type of vision, not a functionality of the iris. Group name: Eye Functions.

Proprioceptors do not belong as they sense body position, not light. Group name: Types of Photoreceptors.

Iris doesn't belong, it's part of the vascular tunic not involved directly in lens attachment. Group name: Lens Attachment Structures.

Iris again, doesn't belong as it is not an extraocular muscle. Group name: Extraocular Muscles.

Pigmented layer does not belong because it's part of the retina's support structure, not an active photoreceptor. Group name: Layers of the Retina.
