According to the trichromatic theory of color perceptions,we can see the color red because of

A) L cones.
B) M cones.
C) S cones.
D) rod cells.

Trichromatic Theory

The idea that three types of cone receptor cells in the retina are responsible for color perception. Each type responds optimally to different, but overlapping, ranges of wavelengths.

L Cones

Photoreceptor cells in the retina that are sensitive to long wavelengths of light, contributing to color vision, particularly red colors.

M Cones

Photoreceptor cells in the retina specialized for medium-wavelength light, contributing to color vision and perception of green hues.
