Solution
The correct option is D Acetone
The chlorophyll pigment is readily soluble in acetone. Chlorophylls possess a phytyl chain which is bound to a porphyrin ring system. The possession of the phytyl side chain, which is esterified to the carboxyl group of the ring, gives the chlorophylls their lipid character. Moreover, chlorophylls are fat-soluble compounds that can be extracted from water-containing living plant tissue by organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, or ethanol, which can take up water.
