The technique used to measure the rate of photosynthesis by counting oxygen bubbles is:
A. Respirometry
B. Manometry
C. Spectrophotometry
D. Bubble counting

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In aquatic plants like Hydrilla, the rate of photosynthesis can be estimated by counting the number of oxygen bubbles released per minute under light. Manometry measures pressure changes, respirometry respiration, spectrophotometry light absorbance.
