Which of the following statements describes a primary benefit of having photosystem reaction centers composed of several structurally different pigments?
A) Excited electrons must pass through several pigments before they can be transferred to electron acceptors of the electron transport chain.
B) This arrangement enables the plant to absorb light energy of a variety of wavelengths.
C) This arrangement enables the plant to absorb more photons from light energy, all of which are at the same wavelength.
