The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the pigment involved in red-far red light interconversion, photomorphogenetic movements, and photoperception in flowering, we can analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Options**: - **A. Cytochrome**: These are redox-active proteins that contain heme and are involved in the electron transport chain (ETC). They are not primarily involved in light perception or photomorphogenesis. - **B. Xanthophyll**: These are yellow pigments that are derivatives of carotenoids and are involved in photosynthesis, but they do not play a significant role in red-far red light interconversion or photomorphogenetic movements. - **C. Lycopene**: This is a bright red carotenoid found in tomatoes and other fruits. While it is a pigment, it does not play a significant role in the processes mentioned in the question. - **D. Phytochrome**: This is a pigment that is specifically involved in the perception of red and far-red light. It plays a crucial role in photomorphogenetic responses in plants, including flowering and growth regulation. 2. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - Given the roles of the pigments described, **phytochrome** is the only pigment that is directly involved in red-far red light interconversion, photomorphogenetic movements, and photoperception in flowering. 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **D. Phytochrome**.
