Solution
The correct option is
A
Erythrolabe
There are two types of photoreceptor cells present in retina of eye, cones (
for daylight vision)
and rods (for low light vision).
The cone photopigment iodopsin has three forms:
Erythrolabe:
It detects red colour.
Chlorolabe: It detects green colour.
Cyanolabe:
It detects blue colour.
Rhodopsin or visual purple (derivative of vitamin A) is a photopigment in the rods. It is involved in the vision under low light or dim light.
So, the correct answer is 'Erythrolabe'.
