Plant saplings in greenhouses usually take 40 days to grow into plants that can produce flowers. However, when the greenhouse is smeared with oil, the saplings grow into flower-bearing plants within 30 days even though the intensity of light entering the greenhouse is reduced by 30%.
Which of the following hypotheses best explains the contrast described above?
A. While visible light enables essential processes required for nutrient absorption, ultra violet light hinders some essential growth processes in plants.
B. Reducing the intensity of light entering the greenhouse by only 15% results in saplings to grow into flower-bearing plants within 45 days.
C. Oil smeared on the green houses has a high chance of seeping inside the greenhouse through the soil.
D. The green wavelength in visible light – the spectrum of light known to reduce the rate of nutrient absorption among numerous plant species – has a hard time passing through an oiled transparent barrier.
E. Greenhouses that aren’t smeared with oil allow light to pass through them with little loss in intensity.

Plant saplings in greenhouses usually take 40 days to grow
When greenhouse is smeared with oil, the saplings grow in 30 days even when the intensity of light is reduced by 30%
The reason for the discrepancy is when smeared with oil, the plants in greenhouses absorb light necessary for growth.
or the plants in greenhouse do not let enter the light which is not necessary for their growth.
Therefore option D.
