B

D
cornea
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your retina-the light-sensitive lining at the back of your eye-is packed with light-receiving cells called rods and cones. Only the cones are sensitive to color. These cells are clustered mainly in the central region of the retina.

Detailed explanation-2: -Retina: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. The retina converts light into electrical impulses that are sent to the brain through the optic nerve.

Detailed explanation-3: -The rods and cones of the retina change the colors and shapes you see into millions of nerve messages. Then, the optic nerve carries those messages from the eye to the brain!

Detailed explanation-4: -The visual receptor cells on the retina detect shape, colour, motion, and depth. Light enters the eye through the transparent cornea and passes through the pupil at the centre of the iris. The lens adjusts to focus the light on the retina, where it appears upside down and backward.
