A

chlorophyll a

B

chlorophyll b

C

carotenoids and xanthophylls

D

both b and c

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Chlorophyll a is found is almost all photosynthetic plants except bacteria. It is called primary photosynthetic pigment because it performs primary reacrtions of photosynthesis which involve conversion of light energy into chemical energy Other photosynthetic pigments like chorophyll a through election spin resonance and also protect chlorophyll a from photo oxidation.
