The optic disc is the location where the optic nerve exits the eye and contains no photoreceptors. The macula lutea contains a high concentration of photoreceptors, particularly cones, and is responsible for central visual acuity. The fovea centralis is the central portion of the macula that contains the highest concentration of cones and is responsible for detailed color vision. The posterior retina contains photoreceptors and is responsible for peripheral vision. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect.
