The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Structure of the Eye:** - The eye consists of three main layers: the sclera (outermost layer), the choroid (middle layer), and the retina (innermost layer). 2. **Identifying the Retina's Layers:** - The retina itself is composed of multiple layers, each serving different functions. 3. **Determining the Outermost Layer of the Retina:** - The outermost layer of the retina is known as the **pigmented epithelium**. 4. **Function of the Pigmented Epithelium:** - This layer is tightly attached to the choroid layer and plays a crucial role in supporting the sensory neurons, specifically the rods and cones. 5. **Understanding Rods and Cones:** - Rods are responsible for vision in low light conditions (scotopic vision). - Cones are responsible for vision in bright light conditions (photopic vision) and are involved in color perception. 6. **Conclusion:** - Therefore, the answer to the question is that the outermost layer of the retina, which holds sensory neurons like rods and cones, is the **pigmented epithelium**. ---
