Solution

The correct option is A

Iodine


Iodine is commonly used to test whether starch is added to milk. When two or three drops of iodine solution are added to milk taken in a test tube, the solution turns dark blue-black. Addition of starch to milk makes the milk look thicker. Starch and water are the common adulterants used in milk.
