Solution
The correct answer is a. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, xanthophylls and carotenoids. These are the four primary pigments found in the leaves of plants. They are responsible for absorbing light energy for photosynthesis. Each pigment absorbs light at different wavelengths, allowing plants to efficiently use the light energy they receive.
