The correct option is A Iodine solution
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that takes place inside a plant, producing food for the plant to survive. Carbon dioxide, water and light are all needed for photosynthesis to take place. Chlorophyll is a green photosynthetic pigment found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, it allows plants to absorb energy from light.
