Correct Answer: Carotenoid


Solution : The correct option is Carotenoids.

Carotenoids are responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colours of leaves. Carotenoids are an organic pigment group found in plants. Carotenoids are created in leaves by chloroplasts, which are photosynthetic organelles. Carotenoids absorb less sunlight than chlorophyll, therefore they look yellow, orange, or red.
