Which one of the following is the correct set of three precautions for setting up the experiment to demonstrate that carbon dioxide is evolved during respiraition?

A student was–performing an activity to prove the requirements for photosynthesis. During this activity, he kept two identical healthy potted plantsA and Bin dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, he covered plant A and B by bell shaped jars separately. While covering the plants with separate bell jars, he kept KOH in the watch glass by the side of the plant in setup A and not in setup B. Both these setups were made air tight and were kept in light for 6 hours. Then, Iodine Test was performed with one leaf from each of the two plants A and B. This experimental set up is used to prove essentiality of which of the following requirements of photosynthesis?

During Griffith's experiment following observations were done. Choose the correct one.

A star-shaped figure was cut in the black paper strip used for covering the leaf of a destarched plant used for demonstrating that light is necessary for photosynthesis. As the end of the experiment when the leaf was tested for starch with iodine, the star-shaped figure on the leaf was found to be:
