Solution

The correct option is B

This area has a high density of cones but has no rods


The fovea is a pit in the retina where images are focused. It has a high density of cones but it has no rods. The fovea permits detailed vision.
The blind spot is the point in the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye. There are no photoreceptors which make this blind spot insensitive to light.
