(iii) evolution of chlorine gas from silver chloride. (iv) oxidation of silver chloride.
A. (i) only
B. (i) and (iii)
C. (ii) and (iii)

Answer :
When silver chloride is exposed to sunlight it undergoes decomposition and turns grey due to the formation of silver metal which provides the grey colour. Although Cl2 gas is also evolved but, it is not responsible for grey colour.
