The nerve cells that respond to specific aspects of a visual stimulus,such as its shape or its movement,are
A) bipolar cells.
B) rods and cones.
C) ganglion cells.
D) feature detectors.
Feature Detectors
Neurons in the brain that identify and respond to specific characteristics of sensory information, such as angles, edges, or movement.
Visual Stimulus
refers to any object or image that is perceived by the eyes and can influence a person's behavior or cognitive processes.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Feature detectors are nerve cells that respond to specific aspects, or features, of a visual stimulus. These cells are responsible for detecting lines, edges, angles, and other characteristics of objects and for processing this visual information. The other options - bipolar cells, rods and cones, and ganglion cells - are all involved in the initial stages of visual processing but do not specifically respond to features of a visual stimulus.
