The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the pigment concerned with both floral induction and seed germination, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Question**: The question asks for a pigment that plays a role in both floral induction (the process that makes a plant competent to develop flowers) and seed germination (the process by which a seed develops into a new plant). 2. **Analyze the Options**: - **Florigen**: A plant hormone that promotes flowering but is not a pigment. - **Chlorophyll**: A green pigment essential for photosynthesis, not directly involved in floral induction or seed germination. - **Plastocyanin**: A copper-containing protein involved in photosynthesis, not specifically related to floral induction or seed germination. - **Phytochrome**: A photoreceptor pigment that is involved in various light-dependent processes, including both floral induction and seed germination. 3. **Identify the Correct Answer**: Based on the analysis, phytochrome is the only option that is a pigment and is involved in both processes mentioned in the question. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Phytochrome** (Option D).
