Solution

The correct option is D 1 to 2%
During photosynthesis 1 to 4% light is utilized. Photosynthesis is more in intense light and is also counted as a limiting factor. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly, even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide. Increasing the light intensity will boost the speed of photosynthesis.
