Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The inability of a deer to quickly respond to the headlights of an approaching car is due to light adaptation. Light adaptation is when the eyes adjust to changing levels of light. In this case, when the car headlights approach, the deer's eyes are not able to adjust quickly enough to the sudden increase in light, making it difficult for the deer to see and react in time.
