Characteristics of owl's eyes

What does the underlined (A) indicate?

And the meaning of the below passage is unclear to me. Does it say

Someone's pupils dilate when they see something they like , and also

Others get attracted to a person's dilated eyes?


Over the millennia, owls evolved tubular eyes, which face forward and are immovable, and are the reason owls developed the ability to turn their heads 270 degrees. Owl eyes have more black-and-white detecting rods than color cones, allowing them to see in the dark. Their large round yellow eyes, with dark pupils wide enough to let in small amounts of light in darkness, are one of the first things we notice about them. In the human world, large eyes with wide pupils hold a certain attraction both for the viewer and the viewed. Studies show that a person’s pupils dilate in the presence of someone (A)they are attracted to. Advertisers dilate the eyes of models in photographs to make their products more attractive by default. Nature, it seems, has prepared us biologically to be attracted to owls by giving them such big eyes.
