Solution

The correct option is D Resonance
Chlorophyll a directly takes part in the photochemical reaction, so it is termed as a primary photosynthetic pigment. Other photosynthetic pigments including chlorophyll b,c,d and e; carotenoids and phycobilins are called accessory pigments because they do not directly take part in the photochemical act. They absorb specific wavelengths of light and transfer energy finally to chlorophyll a through electron spin resonance.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Resonance'.
