How are the cones of the human eye categorized in terms of color sensitivity?

  1. Yellow, cyan, magenta

  2. Red, green, blue

  3. Black, white, gray

  4. Orange, purple, brown

The correct answer is: Red, green, blue

Cones in the human eye are categorized based on their color sensitivity into three types: red, green, and blue. These cones are responsible for our ability to perceive colors in the visible spectrum. Option A (Yellow, cyan, magenta), Option C (Black, white, gray), and Option D (Orange, purple, brown) do not accurately represent the categorization of cones in terms of color sensitivity in the human eye.
