The hypothesis that CO2 is necessary for photosynthesis is being tested in this experiment.
The remaining options are not 'hypothesis' being tested in this experiment. The leaf from plant A does not show starch test while the leaf from plant B turns blue-black showing the presence of starch is the result of the final step. The role of KOH in the experiment is used to absorb the carbon dioxide produced by the plant.
