In insects, nocturnal vision primarily relies on the superposition type of eye structure. This allows them to gather more light in low-light conditions, enhancing their ability to see at night. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Correct Answer

C. Superposition

Additional Information

  • Mosaic vision is not typically associated with nocturnal insects.
  • Apposition eyes are more common in diurnal insects, which are active during the day.
  • Superposition eyes are adapted for low-light environments, making them ideal for nighttime activity.
