The correct answer is  (B) Color vision, shape and fine details. > In the optic nerves and visual pathways there are several different types of nerve fibres, of which the magnocellular and the parvocellular pathway are the most important.> The largest path (approximately 80% of the nerve fibres) is the parvocellular pathway that transfers all colour information and high contrast black and white information.> Its nerve fibres are thin and transfer information relatively slowly. In the optic nerve 80% of the nerve fibres are parvocellular fibres and 10% of the fibres are magnocellular fibres.
