Some given  statements about biosynthesis of Abscisic acid ;
a) ABA is synthesized in almost all cells that contain chloroplasts or amyloplasts
b) ABA is a 15-carbon terpenoid, or sesquiterpenoid, which is synthesized in plants by an indirect pathway via 40-carbon carotenoid intermediates
c) Cleavage of the carotenoid by the enzyme NCED (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) is a rate-limiting
d) Oxidation by ABA-8′-hydroxylases lead to ABA inactivation, ABA can also be inactivated by conjugation, but this is irreversible. Both types of inactivation are also tightly regulated.
Which of the following  combination from the above statements  is correct?

The colored pigments of plants are of two principal types: carotenoids and flavonoids. Given below some statements of about these pigments;

 a) Anthocyanins are colored flavonoids that attract animals

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
