Light absorbing pigment that are not at the reaction center of a photosystem increases the amount of the visible light spectrum that can be harnessed for photosynthesis (answer C). The chlorophyll is the reaction center. whereby light is absorbed by chlorophyll and molecules are bound to reaction center protein in the thylakoid membrane.
