D Correct answer
Explanation

The basement membrane is composed of laminin, nidogen/entactin, heparan sulfate proteoglycans, and Type IV collagen. These components form the structural and functional barrier between epithelial cells and underlying connective tissue. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive pigment found exclusively in retinal photoreceptor cells for vision, completely unrelated to basement membrane structure.
