When light is shone in one eye, both pupils constrict in a reaction known as the consensual light reflex. This reflex occurs due to the neural pathways that connect the visual input from both eyes to the muscles that control pupil size.

In your scenario, if light is directed into the right eye and a consensual response is observed, you would notice constriction in both the right pupil and the left pupil. While the right pupil's reaction (constriction) is direct because it is the eye receiving the light, the left pupil also constricts simultaneously as a result of this consensual reflex.

Thus, the appropriate answer focuses on the constriction of the left pupil as a reaction to the light being shone in the right eye.
