Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Rods are more sensitive to low levels of light and are responsible for vision in low-light conditions such as nighttime. Therefore, an animal species that is active at night is likely to have more rods in their visual system compared to cones, which are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light.
