Water soluble pigments found in plant cell vacuoles are

1. Xanthophylls
2. Chlorophylls
3. Carotenoids
4. Anthocyanins

Correct answer: Anthocyanins

Solution

Anthocyanins are water-soluble pigments located in plant cell vacuoles and give many flowers, fruits, and leaves red, purple, and blue hues. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, and xanthophylls are lipid-soluble pigments associated mainly with plastids, not vacuoles.
