People with a certain eye disorder are virtually unable to see in moderately bright light, which seems to them unbearably intense, since the cells of their retinas are overwhelmed by moderately bright light. These people do, however, show normal sensitivity to most components of dim light. Their retinal cells are also not excessively sensitive to red components of moderately bright light.
The information above best supports which of the following hypotheses about people who have the disorder described and who have no other serious visual problems?
A. They typically see more acutely at night and in dim light than do people who do not have the disorder.
B. They react to extremely bright light in much the same way that people without the disorder do.
C. In an otherwise darkened concert hall, they will see a dimly illuminated red exit sign more clearly than people without the disorder will.
D. The biological mechanism by which they perceive the color red is different from the mechanism of people who do not have the disorder.
E. Eyeglasses that are transparent to red components of light but filter out other components of light will help them see in moderately bright light.

We can rule out A and C because “These people do, however, show normal sensitivity to most components of dim light”
B is out of scope, we have no info about their reaction to extremely bright light in the passage.
D seems appealing at first, but recall that *only* red light at moderate brightness doesn’t trigger the reaction- meaning that their response to red light is the same as everyone else, and other colors of light are responsible for the reaction.
That leads us to E, the correct answer, for the same reason that D is not correct- red is the only light that can be tolerated at moderate brightness.
