Vedclass · Answer

(B) All algae belong to the group of photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll $a$ as the primary photosynthetic pigment. In addition to chlorophyll $a$,other pigments like chlorophyll $b$,$c$,$d$,carotenoids,and xanthophylls are present in different classes of algae. However,chlorophyll $a$ is the universal pigment present in all groups of algae (Chlorophyceae,Phaeophyceae,and Rhodophyceae). Since the question asks for common pigments found in all algae,and considering the standard options provided in biological contexts,chlorophyll $a$ is always present. Among the options,chlorophyll $a$ is the essential component. Given the standard classification,chlorophyll $a$ and $b$ are characteristic of green algae,but chlorophyll $a$ is the common denominator for all.
