Solution

The correct option is A decomposition of silver bromide
A thin layer of silver bromide is evenly spread on a transparent photographic film. When you take a picture, the camera lens projects a small but accurate image on the surface of this light-sensitive layer, and the silver bromide is decomposed more or less, depending of the intensity of the light received in various points of the image.
