Which chromophores are bound by plant cryptochromes?

Go with B — Flavin and pterin. Under cryptochrome, this is the standard explanation you’d use in class: it names the real driver or definition, while the rest are nearby but wrong. Not these: A) Chlorophyll and carotene; C) Biliverdin and phytochromobilin; D) Retinal and opsin. When two options sound similar, choose the one that matches the textbook definition most tightly.
