Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Both corpus luteum and macula lutea are characterised by a yellow colour. After an egg is released from the ovary, the cells that line the ovarian follicle change shape and colour to become a corpus luteum (yellow body). Macula lutea is the yellowish spot present at the posterior pole of eye. Lutein, zeaxanthin, `alpha`-carotene and `bete` - cryptoxanthin are responsible for its yellow colouration .
