Rods are responsible for vision in shades of grey, as they contain a light-sensitive pigment called rhodopsin that is most sensitive to low levels of light. Cones, on the other hand, are responsible for color vision and function best in bright light conditions. Therefore, option B is not correct, and option C is also not entirely accurate since it includes cones, which do not confer vision in shades of grey.
