Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The article states that some women with 4-cone systems in their retinae have been shown to be able to discriminate colors that normal people would see as the same, indicating that they have a greater ability to differentiate color.

There is no mention of whether they are better able to sustain damage to the occipital lobe, so D cannot be the correct answer.
