Solution

The correct option is A Methylene blue
  • Methylene blue is used as a bacteriologic stain and as an indicator.
Methylene blue stains negatively charged molecules in the cell, including DNA and RNA.
  • This dye is toxic when ingested and it causes irritation when in contact with the skin and eyes

So, the correct answer is 'Methylene blue'
