Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Cones are the receptors in the retina that are responsible for color vision and the perception of fine details in bright light. Rods, on the other hand, are responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not distinguish color. The pupil is the opening in the center of the eye that regulates the amount of light that enters. The lens is responsible for focusing light onto the retina.
