b. predators see better in the dark than prey animals in order to hunt for food.

Explanation:

We need to analyze each option to determine which best represents the central idea of an article about animal - vision in the dark. Option A is too extreme as it doesn't consider all animals. Option B is too specific about predators and prey. Option C is about a comparison between cats and dogs, which is also too specific. Option D is a general statement about animals' eyesight in the dark, which is most likely to be the central idea.

Answer:

D. Certain animals have eyes that absorb and reflect more light, allowing them to see in the dark.
