Solution
The correct option is
A
True
A photoreceptor cell is a type of retinal neuron that can convert light into electrical signals.
The retina has two types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones.
Cones are cone-shaped structures that are essential for vision in strong light (daylight).
Except for the fovea, rods are rod-like structures found throughout the retina that are essential for dim light (twilight/night) vision.
Light-sensitive pigments are present in both of these visual components.
