Solution

The correct option is B
False

Rod cells are receptors that are highly photosensitive. They contain pigments which are senstive to dim light. On the other hand, cone cells contain pigments which are sensitive to bright light. Rod cells do not possess the ability to detect colour. They are sensitive to light intensity but they cannot differentiate between different wavelengths of light.
