Etiolation is a process in which flowering plants are grown in partial or complete absence of light.

Etiolation is mainly characterized by long and weak stems and smaller, sparse pale yellow color of leaves due to the longer internodes. Thus due to this tomato seedling became white coloured. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
