Solution

The correct option is B
They cannot distinguish between colours.

The retina contains cone cells which can detect red, green and blue colours. Colour blindness is caused due to the defect of cone cells which detect red and green colours. Persons with this defect cannot distinguish between green and red colours. Hence they are dangerous drivers.
