{'colour blindness': [2, 0, 1, 0], 'red cell': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cell disorder': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'cone cell': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'neuron': [2, 0, 0, 1], 'wbc': [2, 1, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 2: Cone cell. Color blindness is a condition where a person is unable to see certain colors or perceive them differently. This disorder occurs due to a malfunction or deficiency in certain cells in the retina called cone cells. Cone cells are responsible for detecting color and sending signals to the brain. There are three types of cone cells, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light corresponding to red, green, and blue. In individuals with color blindness, one or more of these cone cells are defective or absent, leading to difficulties in perceiving certain colors. It is important to note that white blood cells (WBCs), red blood cells (RBCs), and neurons do not play a direct role in color perception or color blindness.
