Solution

The correct options are
A
Cone cells

C
Photoreceptor cells

The retina or inner layer of the retina is sensitive to light and has two types of sensory cells that are rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light. Whereas cone cells are responsible for colour vision and function best in relatively bright light.
