Solution

The correct option is B PAR
Visible light ranges from low blue to far-red light and is described as the wavelengths between 380 nm and 750 nm, although this varies between individuals. The region between 400 nm and 700 nm is what plants use to drive photosynthesis and is typically referred to as photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Plants use wavelengths outside of PAR for the phenomenon known as photomorphogenesis, which is light regulated changes in development, morphology, biochemistry and cell structure and function
So, the correct answer is 'PAR'
