    A High sun light intensity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Low sun light intensity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Deficiency of Mg and Fe in the soil Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Absorption of carotene from soil Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Chlorosis refers to the yellowing of plant leaves, particularly between the veins, due to a reduced production of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. Deficiency of magnesium and iron in the soil can lead to chlorosis because both nutrients are necessary for chlorophyll synthesis.
