The correct answer is - C) carotenoids.
The majority of the trees from the mid-latitude forests tend to shade their leaves in the autumn. This process occurs because of the seasonal changes in the climate, where the trees tend to be almost not-active during the winter, so in order to preserve as much energy and nutrients as possible they get read off their leaves.
It is not a sudden process, but it takes some time, where the leaves from the initial green color start to change to yellowish, than towards orange, reddish, or brownish before they fall.
The reason why this coloration appears in the leaves when the tree starts to process of shading them off are carotenoids. The carotenoids found in the leaves, the lutein and the beta-caroten, thorugh the xantophills and the flavonoids give a yellowish color to the leaves, thus we get the beautiful autumn colors and landscapes.
Pandemics occur over a wide geographic region, potentially affecting a large population.
The advantage to prokaryotes grouping related metabolic gene products into a single operon is they only needed one mRNA to create several gene products. This makes a prokaryote different to a eukaryote in terms of gene information processing. Prokaryotes have fewer genes. These genes are located in one chromosome only.
Tulips can survive in water and in soil
I would need the picture to know how to answer this question
