What do pheomelanin pigments represent?

  1. Red to yellow pigments

  2. Dark to light brown pigments

  3. Blue to green pigments

  4. Black pigments

The correct answer is: Red to yellow pigments

Pheomelanin pigments represent the red to yellow colors in hair, skin, and eyes. The other options, including dark to light brown, blue to green, and black pigments, are representative of other types of melanin, not pheomelanin. Therefore, they are not correct in this context.
