Solution

The correct option is D

Opposite to the incident rays


There are two kinds of sensitive cells present in the retina:

(i) Cones, which are sensitive to bright light and
(ii) Rods, which are sensitive to dim light.
Besides, cones are sensitive to colour.

Thus, both the statements in the question are incorrect.
