Solution
The correct option is C Chlorophyll
The leaves have a green pigment called chlorophyll, which gives them green colour. It helps the leaves to capture the sunlight and convert it into chemical energy. Other pigments like xanthophyll and carotene impart yellow and yellowish orange colour respectively to the plant parts. Minerals do not impart colour but are taken up by plants to perform life processes.
