Solution

The correct options are
B

Inhibits CO2 intake by plant.


C

Stops the glucose/ starch production in leaves.


This experiment demonstrates the requirement of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) absorbs all the available carbon dioxide in the bell jar. As the jar is closed completely, no carbon dioxide is allowed from outside. In this situation, photosynthesis and starch or glucose production are inhibited.
