Solution

The correct option is B - True

Chloroplasts contain the pigment called chlorophyll which imparts the green colour to the leaves. It absorbs sunlight in the form of solar energy called photons. These photons are used to split the water molecule into protons, electrons and molecular oxygen through a process called photolysis.

Proton and electrons are used used to construct the sugar molecule in the presence of carbon dioxide obtained from the air through the stomatal opening of the leaves of the plant through the process called photosynthesis.
