Solution
The correct option is D White light
Light quality: Photosynthetic pigments absorb visible part of the radiation (i.e., 380 um and 760 um). For example, chlorophyll absorbs blue and red light. Usually, plants show a high rate of photosynthesis in the blue and red light. Maximum photosynthesis has been observed in red light than in blue light. The green light has a minimum effect. The rate of photosynthesis is maximum in white light or sunlight( Polychromatic light).On the other hand, red algae show maximum photosynthesis in green light and brown algae in blue light.Hence, the correct answer is 'White light'.
