    The pigment that protects plants from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays is:

    Hint

    Carotenoids protect the plant from UV (ultraviolet) damage. Carotenoids are pigments in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. These pigments produce bright yellow, red, and orange colors in plants. Carotenoids are responsible for the quenching of light and protect cells from damages caused by light and superoxide radicles.
