The correct Answer is:
D
Anthocyanin pigment only give colouration since the epidermal cells mainly have potential colouring pigments. It is responsible for blue, red, pink and purple colours observed in different parts of plants such as petals, stamens and fruits etc
Anthocyanin is also important for attracting insects for pollination and seed dispersal. Hence anthocyanin pigments are not accessory photosynthetic pigments.
