a lid, which covers and protects the eye
b cones, which help you see rich and bright color
c rods, which help you see in low light
d tears, which help keep the eye clean
e lashes, which help keep dirt out of the eye

Explanation:

The retina contains two types of photoreceptor cells: cones and rods. Cones are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light. Rods are more sensitive to low - light conditions and do not contribute to color vision.

• Option A: The lid is not part of the retina.
• Option B: Cones are part of the retina's cells.
• Option C: Rods are part of the retina's cells.
• Option D: Tears are not part of the retina.
• Option E: Lashes are not part of the retina.

Answer:

B. cones, which help you see rich and bright color; C. rods, which help you see in low light
