Silver nitrate is usually supplied in coloured bottles because it is:

Aoxidised in air
Bdecomposes in sunlight
Correct Answer
Cexplodes in sunlight
Dreacts with air in sunlight

Solution

In the presence of light, silver nitrate decomposes to form silver. Hence to prevent the decomposition it is kept in dark coloured bottles.

$$ 2AgNO_3 \xrightarrow { \Delta } \quad 2Ag +2NO_2 +O_2 $$
