The structure of the eye responsible for color vision:
A
cones
B
cornea
C
rods
D
ganglion cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cone cells, or cones, are photoreceptor cells in the retinas of vertebrates’ eyes, including the human eye. They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and the combination of their responses is responsible for color vision.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which colors humans and other animals see depends on the light-sensing cells, or photoreceptors, in the eye. There are 2 types of photoreceptors: rods, which detect dim light and are used for night vision, and cones, which detect different colors and require brightly lit environments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cones. The specialized retinal processing cells that function in bright light levels and provide central (or straight-ahead) vision, along with sharp visual acuity, detail, and color vision.

Detailed explanation-4: -These cells are called cones. They are found in the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye, called the retina. If just one pigment is missing, you may have trouble telling the difference between red and green.
