The correct Answer is:
D
Phycobilins are open tetrapyrroles which neither contain magnesium nor phytol. Phycobilins are water soluble. The pigmetns are of two types-blue (phycocyanin, allophycocyanin) and red (phycoerythrin). The pigments are useful in chromatic adaptations. They are important acessory pigments of blue-grenn algae, cryptomonads and red algae.
