Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
All of the choices listed are essential components of the visual pathway. The retina contains photoreceptor cells that detect light, bipolar cells transmit signals from photoreceptors to ganglion cells, the optic nerve carries visual information from the retina to the brain, and nerve impulses are the means by which this information is transmitted. Therefore, all of these components are necessary for sight.
