Answer 2

The correct option is the rod cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The retina of the eye possesses two photoreceptor cells:

• cone cells

• rod cells

Rod cells can be described as highly efficient photoreceptor cells of the eye that can respond to even very tiny amount of light. The rod cells are responsible for vision at night time or in dim light. The rod cells are used for a peripheral view generation.

Cone cells are responsible for generating vision during bright light conditions.
