Solution

The correct option is C Organic solvent
Chlorophylls are green photosynthetic pigments. Chemically, they are porphyrins having a cyclic tetrapyrrole head and a long phytol tail attached to the head. Because the electrons move freely, the ring has the potential to gain or lose electrons easily, and thus the potential to provide energized electrons to other molecules. They are water insoluble and soluble in organic solvents.
So, the correct answer is option C.
