Solution

The correct option is D chlorophyll
The green coloured pigment in plants is known as chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is found in chloroplast, a plant organelle. It is used for capturing solar energy and converting it into chemical energy for synthesis of food in plants. This process is known as photosynthesis.

Hemoglobin is found in the red blood cells of human beings for carrying oxygen in the blood. There is no pigment named chloroglobin.
