When Simultaneously Recording from Two Cells in Separate Ocular Dominance

When simultaneously recording from two cells in separate ocular dominance columns in V1, you notice that the firing patterns of these two cells are remarkably similar. What does this suggest?

A) These two cells have different receptive fields.
B) These two cells are connected through an intercortical connection.
C) These two cells cannot both be in V1; one must be in V2.
D) These two cells receive input from both the ipsilateral and contralateral LGN.
E) These two cells are on opposite sides of an orientation column.
