• B. Guava, banana
• C. Mango & Potato
• D. None

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Carrot & ripe papaya

• Rhodopsin is a pigment containing sensory protein present in eye, that converts light into an electrical signal. It is extremely sensitive to light, hence plays a keyrole in vision when the light is low.
• It is made up of a colorless protein called opsin and 11-cis- retinal, a pigmented protein derived from vitamin A. So food which are rich in vitamin A are important for our body.
• Rhodopsin can not be made inside human body. It must be availed in food which contain beta carotene, a source of Rhodopsin. Carrots, sweet potatos, spinach, papaya and apricot are good sources of beta carotene.

So, the correct option is A.
