Solution

The correct option is A Rods and cones
Rods and cones are the light-sensitive cells on the retina. Cones are sensitive to bright light and are capable of color vision. Rods are sensitive to dim light and give twilight vision. They convert light waves into electrical impulses to be read by the brain.
