Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) Silver bromide - artificial photosynthesis

Explanation

Silver bromide (AgBr) is light-sensitive and used in photographic films, not in artificial photosynthesis, so the pair is wrong.

Silver iodide (AgI) is correctly used for cloud seeding to make artificial rain.

Lithium bicarbonate treats rheumatism, and Milk of magnesia [Mg(OH)2] works as an antacid.
