Correct Answer :

Option B

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Solution :

To match the pigments in List-I with their characteristic colors on a chromatogram in List-II, let us recall the typical color appearances of these photosynthetic pigments:

A. Chlorophyll a: This pigment appears as a blue-green color on the chromatogram. Therefore, A matches with III.
B. Chlorophyll b: This pigment appears as a yellow-green color on the chromatogram. Therefore, B matches with I.
C. Xanthophylls: These pigments are responsible for the yellow color. Therefore, C matches with II.
D. Carotenoids: These pigments range in color from yellow to yellow-orange. Therefore, D matches with IV.

Combining all these individual matches, we get:
A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Thus, the correct option is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
