• D. Coloured light and dim light

Answer 1

The correct option is C Coloured light and bright light

Fovea centralis is the central pit of macula lutea which is a yellowish pigmented spot located laterally to the blind spot. Visual resolution is maximum at fovea as it has maximum number of cones which are the photoreceptor cells in retina associated with the daylight vision and colour vision. Hence, fovea centralis perceives coloured light and bright light.

So, the correct answer is 'Coloured light and bright light'.
