Correct answer: C. Lycopene
- A. Ethene
- B. Propene
- C. Lycopene

Explanation
Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment present in tomatoes that gives them their red color. It acts as a natural antioxidant and is produced during the ripening process of tomatoes, contributing to their vibrant red hue. The other options, Ethene, Propene, and Acetylene, are all hydrocarbons or plant hormones that do not directly influence the red color of tomatoes.
