Solution
The answer is the first one: Dilate.
Explanation for each option:
Dilate: This is the correct answer. In low light conditions, the pupils dilate (enlarge) to allow more light to enter the eye, which helps improve vision in the dark.
Close completely: This is incorrect. Pupils do not close completely in the dark; doing so would prevent any light from entering the eye, making it impossible to see.
Constrict: This is incorrect. Pupils constrict (become smaller) in bright light to reduce the amount of light entering the eye, not in the dark.
Summary:
In the dark, pupils dilate to allow more light to enter the eye, enhancing vision in low-light conditions.
