Bipolar Cell
A type of neuron found in the eye's retina, serving as an intermediate layer between photoreceptor cells and ganglion cells, and playing a significant role in visual processing.
Rods
Retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray, and are sensitive to movement; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don’t respond.
Cones
Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye responsible for color vision and high spatial acuity under bright light conditions.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina that send messages to bipolar cells. Rods are more sensitive to low light levels and are more numerous, while cones are responsible for color vision and are less numerous. Multiple rods or cones may send combined messages to a bipolar cell, whereas a single cone may directly link to a single bipolar cell.
