Dear student

Answer option ( C ) is corrrect for the question no 4 this is
because Chlorophyll is a light sensitive pigment found in thylakoid
membrane of chloroplast It is responsible for trapping light rays
comming from sun, which is essential for conversion of
CO2 to glucose, glucose is a food prepared during the
process of photosynthesis
Answer option ( D ) is correct for question no 5 this is
because if the rate of respiration is greater than the rate of
photosynthesis, then plant will utilize its own biomolecule to
compensate the loss which is arises due to decrease in rate of
photosynthesis Which results in gradual increase in starvation,
plant stop gowing and ultimately die

Hope this will clear your doubts about the topic
