Water-soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are

Correct answer: D. Anthocyanins

  • A. Xanthophylls
  • B. Carotenoids
  • C. Chlorophylls
  • D. Anthocyanins

Explanation

Anthocyanins are the correct answer as they are water-soluble pigments located in the vacuoles of plant cells, contributing to the red, blue, or purple coloration of various plant parts. Other pigments, such as xanthophylls, carotenoids, and chlorophylls, are not water-soluble and are typically found in different cell structures like chloroplasts, rather than vacuoles.
