Solution

The correct option is D Retina with only cone cells
Fovea centralis is the central cavity of macula lutea which is a yellow pigmented spot in the eye present laterally to the eye. Visual resolution is maximum at fovea because only cones are present. Cones are the photoreceptor cells associated with colour vision and daylight vision. They contain three photopigments, iodopsin, porpyrosin and cyanopsin.
So, the correct answer is 'Retina with only cone cells'.
