Answer:

B- Opaque solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

A spectrophotometer works by reading the amount of light that is absorbed by a given solution, it does so by analysing the transmittance of light in a solution contained in a quartz cell called cuvette.

Therefore, an opaque solution cannot be analysed by this technique because there would be no light transmittance.
