myschool pls correct this
Option C is the correct answer
Anthocyanins are pigments responsible for the red, blue, and purple colors in many plants, including flowers. These pigments are water-soluble and belong to a class of compounds called flavonoids. Anthocyanins are often produced in response to environmental factors, such as changes in pH.
In some cases, the breakdown products of anthocyanins can contribute to the discoloration of flowers. As flowers age or experience changes in their environment, these pigments may degrade, leading to a loss of color. Therefore, the excretory products involved in the discoloration of flowers are associated with the breakdown or transformation of pigments like anthocyanins.
The correct answer is C.
@myschool, please correct it. Anthocyanin are pigments responsible for the red, blue and purple colouration in flowers. They contribute to the discolouration of flowers due to changes in pH and environmental conditions.
The correct answer is C. anthocyanins 
Anthocyanins are plant excretory products (pigments) responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors seen in flowers (and sometimes fruits and leaves).
Quick check:
Alkaloids → bitter compounds (e.g. caffeine)
Tannins → astringent, used in defense
Resins → sticky substances for protection
Anthocyanins = flower coloration
turpentine is used to dissolve paint .
it is an excretory plant oil which is also a type of resin.
