Solution

The correct option is D silver
  • A silver halide (or silver salt) is one of the chemical compounds that can form between the element silver and one of the halogens.
  • Silver halides are used in photographic film and photographic paper, including graphic art film and paper, where silver halide crystals in gelatin are coated on to a film base, glass or paper substrate. The gelatin is a vital part of the emulsion as the protective colloid of appropriate physical and chemical properties.
  • Hence option D is correct answer.
