Solution
The correct option is D Alum Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other autotrophic organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product. In the photosynthesis of plants, alum is not required.
