Option 4 : Carotenoids

The correct answer is Carotenoids.

Carotenoids are yellow, orange, or red pigments synthesized by many plants, fungi, and bacteria.
They absorb light energy for use in photosynthesis, and they protect chlorophyll from photodamage.
They protect plants from photodamage by dissipating excess light energy which they absorb as heat.

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.
Carotenoids give the characteristic colour to pumpkins, carrots, corn, tomatoes, canaries, flamingos, salmon, lobster, shrimp, and daffodils.
Carotenoids can be produced from fats and other basic organic metabolic building blocks by all these organisms.
