Solution

The correct option is A Defense against herbivores
Secondary compounds are complex chemicals made by plants that are not essential to the life of the plant. They are thought to be produced primarily as pesticides and anti-grazing agents, but they also used as pigments, hormones and chemical agents that can attack other plants.
So, the correct option is 'Defense against herbivores'.
