The correct option is C

Primary metabolites and secondary metabolites.


Primary metabolites and secondary metabolites. Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and oils are called primary metabolites. Secondary metabolites are chemicals produced by plants. e.g.: Alkaloids, Tannins, Resins, Gums, and Latex. These are used either for sunlight and UV protection, antibacterial/antifungal repel grazers, repel insects, attract seed disseminators etc.
