The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Starch as an Indicator**: - Starch is a polysaccharide that is commonly used in laboratory settings as an indicator for certain chemical reactions. 2. **Identifying the Reaction**: - Starch reacts specifically with iodine. When starch is mixed with iodine, it forms a complex that results in a color change. 3. **Color Change Observation**: - The starch solution is initially colorless. Upon the addition of iodine, the solution changes color to blue or black. This color change indicates the presence of iodine. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, starch can be used as an indicator for the detection of traces of iodine in a solution.
