C. Phycobilins

D. Anthocyanins

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Oxygen-containing carotenoids are Xanthophylls.
Xanthophylls are yellow pigments that occur widely in nature and form one of two major divisions of the carotenoid group; the other division is formed by the carotenes.
Xanthophylls are a class of oxygen-containing carotenoid pigments, their content of oxygen causes xanthophylls to be more polar than carotenes, and causes their separation from carotenes in many types of chromatography.
