- D. Blue, red, orange, or brown
Explanation
Carotenoids are accessory pigments found in plants that include colors such as yellow, orange, red, and brown.

The other options are incorrect as they include colors like blue and green, which are typically associated with chlorophyll pigments, not carotenoids.
