Answer:

Answer= Rods

Step-by-step explanation:

Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in lower light better than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells. This explains why he can still see the shape of his closet door. Rods are usually found concentrated at the outer edges of the retina and are used in peripheral vision.
