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.
