Devin has contracted a very rare eye disease that has caused damage to his rods,but for the most part,his cones have not been affected.Which aspect of Devin's vision is likely to be deficient

A)  vision in bright illumination 
B)  peripheral vision 
C)  colour vision 
D)  detecting differences in wavelengths of light

Peripheral Vision

The part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze, allowing one to see objects not directly in line of sight.

Bright Illumination

Strong or intense light that significantly increases visibility in an environment.

Colour Vision

The capability of an organism's visual system to distinguish objects based on the wavelengths (or frequencies) of the light they reflect, emit, or transmit.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Rods are responsible for vision in low light conditions and peripheral vision. Since Devin's rods are damaged, his peripheral vision would likely be deficient. Cones, which are not significantly affected in his case, are responsible for color vision and high-acuity vision in bright light.
