Correct answer: A
The pigments mentioned in the question have different colors due to their different absorption and reflection of light wavelengths. They are classified as follows :
- Chlorophyll a appears bright or blue green in the chromatogram.
- Chlorophyll b appears yellow green in the chromatogram.
- Xanthophyll appears yellow in the chromatogram.
- Carotenoid appears yellow to yellow-orange in the chromatogram.
So, matching List - I with List - II :
- (A) Chlorophyll a matches with (III) Blue green
- (B) Chlorophyll b matches with (II) Yellow green
- (C) Xanthophyll matches with (IV) Yellow
- (D) Carotenoid matches with (I) Yellow to yellow orange
Therefore, the correct answer is Option A :
- (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)
