Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Cones are a particular kind of photoreceptor cell found in the retina. They enable us to see in colour. The macula, the region of our retina where cones are concentrated, helps us see small details. Cones provide the perception of colour despite having lower sensitivity to light than the retina's rod cells, which assist vision in dim light. Due to their quick response times to stimuli than rods, they can sense finer detail and more rapid changes in images. In addition, cones are sensitive to bright light. Hence they sense the colour.
The correct statement would be that the cones are not sensitive to dim light.
