Answer 1

The correct statement is:

Rods detect light; cones detect color; and the brain combines the three colors.

Rods are more sensitive to light and are responsible for vision in low-light conditions, while cones detect color and are responsible for color vision. The brain processes the input from the cones, combining signals from different types of cones that are sensitive to red, green, and blue light to create the full spectrum of color perception.
