b) Flavonoids are phenolic compounds that include a wide range of colored substances

c) Carotenoids are coloured terpenoid compounds that also serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis

d) most widespread group of pigmented carotenoids is the anthocyanins, these are glycosides that have sugars. Without their sugars, anthocyanins are known as anthocyanidins

Two other major groups of flavonoids found in flowers and leaves of all green plants. The function of these two flavonoids in plants are____

a) protect plants against being eaten by herbivores and against being infected by microbial pathogens

b) Protect cells from excessive UV-B radiation (280–320 nm) because they accumulate in the epidermal layers of leaves and stems and absorb light strongly in the UV-B region       

c) flavones and flavonols secreted into the soil by legume roots mediate the interaction of legumes and nitrogen-fixing symbionts

d) They are are coloured terpenoid compounds that also serve as accessory pigments in photosynthesis    

Which of the following combination from the above statements is correct?
