Which of the following is true about cones?
A) They detect color of an object.
B) They detect detail of an object.
C) They require high-intensity light.
D) Rods are more numerous in the retina than cones.
E) All of the answer choices are true.
High-Intensity Light
Light sources that emit a greater level of luminance, often used in specialized applications requiring significant brightness.
Detect Color
The ability of organisms to perceive different wavelengths of light, enabling them to see colors.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Cones are responsible for color vision and high detail in bright light conditions, which makes both A and B correct. They do require less intense light compared to rods, which makes C incorrect as stated but in the context of the question implies their functionality in brighter light. D is also true because rods are indeed more numerous in the human retina than cones, being more sensitive to light and thus more useful in low-light conditions. Given that A, B, and D are correct statements about cones and their comparison to rods, E is the correct choice as it encompasses all these truths.
