Correct Answer: Ability to form complexion


Solution : The correct option is the ability to form complexion.

Sodium Thiosulfate (Na 2 S 2 O 3 ), known as hypo, is a main ingredient in photography because of its ability to produce a complexion. Its capacity to produce soluble silver thiosulfate complexes with unexposed silver halide crystals makes it useful in photography. This intricate structure makes it possible to extract the unexposed crystals from the light-sensitive material during the fixing stage of the photography process.
