Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

Action Spectrum is the curve depicting the relative rate of photosynthesis at different wave-length of light. It shows that the maximum photosynthesis occur at the blue red region. These regions are the absorption region of chlorophyll-a. So, the action spectrum of photosynthesis is almost identical to the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll-a
