The right answer is D.

Light is essential for any plant so as chlorophyll. They allow plants to convert light energy into sugars.

It appears that a correlation links productivity and chlorophyll under special conditions. The more chlorophyll there is, the more electron transfer is ensured, the more photosynthesis is amplified and the more oxygen and glucose are produced.

The amount of Chlorophyll contained in the leaves provides information on the health of the plant, its vigor and ensures that its Nitrogen requirements are met. The trace elements necessary for the plant are drawn by the roots in the soil.
