Water soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are

  1. carotenoids
  2. anthocyanins
  3. xanthophylls
  4. chlorophylls.

Answer

(2) anthocyanins

Solution

Chlorophylls, carotenoids and xanthophylls are fat-soluble pigments located in the thylakoid membranes of plastids.

⇒ Anthocyanins are water-soluble flavonoid pigments dissolved in the cell sap of vacuoles; they give red, purple and blue colours to flowers, fruits and leaves.
