Solution

The correct option is D 1 - 2 %
Higher plants utilize 1 to 2 % of sunlight for photosynthesis. Most crop plants store nearly 0.25% to 0.5% of the sunlight in the product. Examples are corn kernels, potato starch, etc. Photosynthesis increases linearly with light intensity at low intensity, but at higher intensity this is no longer the case.
