Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the eye that contains photoreceptor cells. When light enters the eye, it is focused onto the retina, where it interacts with these cells, causing them to create electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve. This process is what enables us to see. Therefore, the correct choice is B, the retina.
