Carotenoids, phycobilins, xanthophylls, and chlorophyll molecules (that are not in the special pair) can transfer light energy to chlorophylls (option A) and absorb light energy (option B) due to their respective absorption spectra. Additionally, carotenoids and chlorophylls are known to have antioxidant properties that may prevent the formation of reactive superoxide anion (option C). Therefore, options A, B, and C are all correct, making option D the best choice.
