The correct statement that explains how rods and cones work to help us see things is:

Cones detect light; rods detect color; and the brain decomposes the color into green, blue, and red.

To understand why, let's break it down:

1. Cones: Cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina that primarily function in bright light conditions. These cells are responsible for detecting different wavelengths of light (color) and are sensitive to green, blue, and red light.

2. Rods: Rods are another type of photoreceptor cells in the retina that are primarily responsible for vision in low light conditions. These cells are more sensitive to light intensity and do not distinguish between different colors.

3. Brain Processing: The information gathered by cones and rods is then transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain processes this information and combines the signals from different cones to create the perception of color. By combining the responses of cones sensitive to green, blue, and red light, the brain can distinguish and interpret different colors.

Therefore, the correct statement is that cones detect light and color, while rods detect light intensity, and the brain processes and decomposes the colors into green, blue, and red.
