B
Carotenoids
C
Anthocyanins
D
Xanthophylls
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anthocyanins are the water soluble pigments present in the plant cell vacuoles. These vacuoles appear in different colours like red, blue or purple. Anthocyanins are extracted from edible plants for various purposes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anthocyanins are colored water-soluble pigments belonging to the phenolic group. The pigments are in glycosylated forms. Anthocyanins responsible for the colors, red, purple, and blue, are in fruits and vegetables. Berries, currants, grapes, and some tropical fruits have high anthocyanins content.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anthocyanins are flavonoid pigments that accumulate in the large central vacuole of most plants. Inside the vacuole, anthocyanins can be found uniformly distributed or as part of sub-vacuolar pigment bodies, the Anthocyanic Vacuolar Inclusions (AVIs).

Detailed explanation-4: -Anthocyanins are flavonoid pigments present in the vacuoles of higher plant cells that generate a wide diversity of colours ranging from orange and red to violet and blue.
