A{'text': 'Photochemical reaction'}
B{'text': 'Combination reaction'}
C{'text': 'Combustion reaction'}
D{'text': 'Neutralisation reaction'}
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. {'text': 'Photochemical reaction'}
1. Some reactions need light energy (photons) to proceed. 2. Such reactions are called **photochemical reactions**. 3. Photosynthesis is a familiar biological photochemical reaction. 4. Combination would join species rather than split water; combustion needs oxygen as a reactant. _Source: Selina Concise ICSE Class 8 Chemistry Ch 6 "Chemical Reactions", Factors affecting reaction rates_
