Respuesta :

Answer:C

Explanation:

There are two types of cells in the eyes rod and cone cells. Rod cells Provide vision during the night or dim light also called of scotopic vision whereas cone cells provide vision during day time or at bright light also called photopic vision.  

Rod cells do not support the color vision that is why it is difficult to differentiate between colors.

Also, the amount of light entering the eyes is low as result cone cells are unable to stimulate.
