Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Anthocyanins
Anthocyanins are natural bioactive water-soluble phenolic compounds that are present in fruits, vegetables, and grains with red, purple, blue, or black hues. They belong to the class of compounds known as flavonoids and are responsible for the vivid colors in many foods such as blueberries, raspberries, black rice, and red cabbage. Beyond contributing to color, anthocyanins are recognized for their antioxidant properties, which may help protect against a range of diseases including heart disease and certain cancers. They play an important role in plant health as well, helping to protect plants from various environmental stressors.
