Etiolation is a process in which flowering plants are grown in the partial or complete absence of light. It is mainly characterized by long and weak stems and smaller, sparse pale yellow color leaves due to longer internodes. Hence, because of a lack of chlorophyll pigments due to a deficiency of sunlight, tomato seedlings become white-colored like albinos. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
