<h2>D) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a primary photosynthetic pigment which primarily absorb sunlight and drives photosynthesis

Chlorophyll is simply a lipid molecule consisting of tetrapyrole ring and also contain a cyclopentanone ring fused to pyrole ring III
In chlorophyll the central metal ion is Mg2+
A branched hydrocarbon chain called phytol chain associated with ring IV which keeps embedded porphyrin ring in thylakoid membrane
Chlorophyll a and b are more common photosynthetic pigments

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in plants and in some other autotrophs, in which they synthesize their food own-self in the presence of sunlight.

They take CO₂ from environment, water from roots and light form sun. Then they produce carbohydrate and O₂.

Chlorophyll capture sunlight and convert this into chemical energy, through which sugars are produced.

Plants produce O₂ which animals use in their respiration.
