The correct answer is  Retina has double aerial supply, it receives blood mainly from central retinal aery and also from cilioretinal aery. Central retinal aery is a branch of ophthalmic aery.

Outer plexiform layer of retina is fed from the retinal aerioles and the choroid capillaries. Outer nuclear layer, layer of rods and cones, external limiting membrane and pigment epithelium are supplied by choriocapillaries. Ref: Comprehensive Manual of Ophthalmology By E.
