The correct answer is
Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for the green colour of plants, as it absorbs red and blue light while reflecting green light.
Xanthophyll and Carotene are yellow/orange pigments, and Anthocyanin gives red/purple/blue colours — none of these produce the green colour seen in plants.
Hence, Chlorophyll is the correct answer.
