dilation reflex.

brisk reflex,

accommodation.

consensual reflex

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A.   The dilation reflex refers to pupils dilating in response to dim light, not constricting.
B.   A brisk reflex is an expected response, but it does not describe the bilateral pupil constriction when light is shone in one eye.
C.   Accommodation refers to the process of the eyes adjusting focus for near vision, not pupil constriction in response to light.

D.   Consensual reflex is when both pupils constrict in response to light shined in either one of the eyes, indicating normal neurological function.
