Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 

When Bromthymol blue (BTB) receives carbon dioxide (after a student exhales into it), turns yellow. This yellow color is due to the formation of slightly acidic carbonic acid. Now,  an aquatic green plant is placed in both the test tubes and one of these test tube is placed in sunlight. Thus, the test tube kept in sun has all ideal requirements  that would allow the plant to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis process removes carbon dioxide from the test tube and hence it apperas blue again. While the test tube in dark still appears yellow in color

Hence, option B is correct

What do you think would happen if producers did not exist ?
yan [13]
Well for starters, producers are living organisms that produce their own food. Like plants. And plants ironically provide us humans with oxygen as they live off of the carbon dioxide we produce. Some plants are also main vegetables that we eat, so put simply, a world without producers would be practically oxygen-less and vegetable-less.
