Solarisation is
- Aformation of chlorophyll
- Correct answerBdestruction of chlorophyll
- Cutilisation of sunlight
- Deffects of solar light
Solution
Photosynthesis starts at quite low intensity of light and very high intensity causes oxidation and destruction of pigments, enzymes and intermediates. This destruction known as solarisation. So, solarisation causes reduction in photosynthetic yields. Photoperiodism is the effect of duration of sunlight on plants for many processes like flowering.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
