Which of the following is not a near-point action of the eye?

Explanation:
When looking at something up close, the eye undergoes a coordinated near response: the lens changes shape to increase refractive power (accommodation), the eyes turn inward to keep the object single (convergence), and the pupil constricts to increase depth of field and reduce blur from peripheral aberrations. Pupil dilation, on the other hand, is not part of this near response. It occurs mainly to let more light in in dim conditions and actually reduces depth of field, which is counterproductive for near focus. So pupil dilation is not a near-point action of the eye.
