Solution
The correct option is A Acetocarmine
The stains help to distinguish different tissues and cells by developing specific colors. Staining of the nucleus or chromosomes is either accomplished using acetocarmine or Giemsa solution. Acetocarmine stains chromosome dark red. It is used to study chromosome during cell division. Safranin is used in gram staining. It stains gram-negative organisms pink. The light green stain is used in histology for staining collagen for that purpose it is a standard dye in North America. In Masson's trichrome it is used as a counterstain to acid fuchsin. Eosin is an orange-pink dye used to stain cytoplasm, collagen and muscle fibers for examination under the microscope.Thus, the correct answer is option A.
