A Correct answer
Explanation

Cats' eyes appear to glow in the dark due to the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer behind the retina. This structure reflects light back through the retina, enhancing night vision. When light shines on cat eyes in darkness, this reflection creates the glowing effect. The phenomenon is called eyeshine and is present in many nocturnal animals.
