Solution
The correct option is B Iodine
Iodine was initially used to stain epidermal cells as it precipitates the proteins of the protoplasm and stains them a light brown colour, the nucleus in a more intense colour, and nucleoli even darker, as well as cell walls which help to distinguish the different parts of cells. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
