Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromatic adaptation is the process by which the visual system adjusts to changes in the spectrum of light entering the eye, allowing us to perceive colors accurately even under different lighting conditions. In this case, Mark's visual system has adapted to the red light in the supermarket, enabling him to see the red apples as red. Re-adaptation, isomerization, and corticalization are not relevant to this scenario.
