Solution

The correct option is C $C H_{3}$ and CHO
The chemical structure of chlorophyll 'a' varies from chlorophyll 'b' due to the difference between CH $_{3}$ and CHO. In chlorophyll, a third carbon of the side group is -CH $_{3}$ . In chlorophyll b, side group at the third carbon is -CHO. So, the correct answer is option is C.
