Answer:
A
Solution:
Phaeophytin is the primary electron acceptor in the Z scheme.
A chromatographic separation of the leaf pigments shows that the colour that we see in leaves is not due to a single pigment but due to four pigments: Chlorophyll a (bright or blue-green in the chromatogram), chlorophyll b (yellow-green), xanthophylls (yellow) and carotenoids (yellow to yellow-orange).
