Solution

The correct option is B Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids
The graph shows the absorption spectrum of a mixture of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids in the range of visible light (380nm to 700nm).

Chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b shows maximum absorption in the blue-red region of the light spectrum. Chlorophyll appears green as neither chlorophyll a nor b absorbs green light. Carotenoids absorb maximum light in the blue-green region and violet region. On the other hand, xanthophyll absorbs maximum light in the blue region.
