Solution
The correct option is A Phenolic compounds
Phytoalexins are antimicrobial and often antioxidative substances synthesized de novo by plants that accumulate rapidly at areas of pathogen infection. They are broad spectrum inhibitors and are chemically diverse with different types characteristic of particular plant species. For example, Capsidiol is a phytoalexin produced by certain plants in response to pathogenic attack (image shows the phenolic structure)
So, the correct answer is 'Phenolic compounds'.
