Name the pigment that gives plants their green color.

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Chlorophyll.
· Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for giving plants their green color.
· It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
· Chlorophyll absorbs light most efficiently in the blue and red wavelengths, while reflecting green light, which is why plants appear green to our eyes.
· There are two main types of chlorophyll in plants: chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, both of which are involved in capturing light energy for photosynthesis.
Additional Knowledge:
· Thiamin: A vitamin (B1) essential for energy metabolism in living organisms, not a pigment.
· Carotenoid: A pigment responsible for yellow, orange, and red colors in plants but not for green.
· Actin: A protein involved in cell structure and movement, not related to plant pigmentation.
