Which statement explains why looking at a dimly lit object with peripheral vision at night results in the clearest image of the object? when one looks to the side of an object:
a. two images of the object are sent to the brain, which results in a clearer image.
b. its image falls in the periphery of the retina, which is denser in rods.
c. its image falls on the fovea, which results in the clearest image.
d. a single image of the object is sent to the brain, which results in a clearer image.

Option C. Its image falls on the periphery of the retina, denser in rods

Explanation:

This can be explained as the photo receptors present in the outer periphery are more sensitive to light and enable us to see clearly dimly lit objects.

Also the peripheral vision is the the one on the retinal periphery which is highly rich in concentration of rods than cones and thus a dimly lit object at night with peripheral vision gives a clearer image of the object.

The central vision makes use of the central part, i.e., fovea which is dense with the concentration of cones, photo-receptors which enable us to see different colors and functions well in bright light.
