Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
In dim light, the pupil dilates to allow more light to enter the eye, which helps to see better in low-light conditions. However, this does not necessarily produce a sharper image; in fact, it can result in an image that is not as sharp due to the reduction in depth of field.
