Detailed Solution

Concept- Large birds with pink or reddish feathers are called flamingos.
Flamingo feathers are pink and crimson because they ingest algae and invertebrate pigments.
Because of the abundance of beta-carotene and organic chemicals that contain reddish-orange in the algae that flamingos eat, they appear pink. Many plants contain the pigment beta carotene, but tomatoes, spinach, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and of course carrots have a particularly high concentration.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3 -  Pigment carotenoid.
