Solution
The correct option is A Cat Binocular vision increases the field view and also the position of the eye on the head increases the sensitivity towards the distance. The eyes of dogs and cats have many of the modifications typically seen in animals which evolved as night time hunters. The pupil functions much as an aperture for the camera and can dilate for the maximal light capturing ability in dogs and cats. In addition, there is a reflective layer under the retina called as the tapetum which serves to intensify vision in dim light. It is also noticeable that forward stereoscopic visual field is greatest in cats.
