Which ones are primarily absorbed b carotenoids? Correct Answer Voilet and blue

Violet and blue are primarily absorbed b carotenoids.
Carotenoids are essential compounds along with chlorophylls in photosynthetic bacteria, algae, and plants and are involved in photosynthesis and photoprotection.
Carotenoids harvest light energy and transfer this energy to chlorophylls through singlet-singlet excitation transfer.
Carotenoids also called tetraterpenoids, are yellow, orange, and red organic pigments that are produced by plants and algae, as well as several bacteria, and fungi.

The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse because some of the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere to reach the moon. As the white light breaks up while passing through the atmosphere, most of its blue-colored wavelengths are absorbed and scattered. The remaining red wavelengths light up the moon in blood-red color. Which of the following statements do not support the assertion of the above-given statement? I: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the white light breaks up due to the Earth's atmosphere where most of its red-colored wavelengths are absorbed. II: The moon looks blood red during a total lunar eclipse as the earth blocks the white light to travel to the moon.
