(B) is a pigment which is solved quickly in water
(C) lowers the risk of having cancer only when it is consumed together with vitamin
(D) can only be found in processed tomato products

從最後一句即可看出答案 Lycopene...

You may have heard that tomatoes and processed tomato products like tomato sauce and canned tomatoes protect against some types of cancer. The cancer-preventing properties(性能) of tomato products have been attributed to lycopene(茄紅素). It is a bright red pigment(色素) found in tomatoes and other red fruits and is the cause of their red color. Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional content such as vitamin C is diminished(減少) upon cooking, processing of tomatoes increases the concentration(濃度) of lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste(糊) is four times more than in fresh tomatoes. This is because lycopene is insoluble(可溶) in water and is tightly bound to vegetable fiber. Thus, processed tomato products such as pasteurized tomato juice, soup, sauce, and ketchup contain the highest concentrations of lycopene. Cooking and crushing tomatoes as in the canning process and serving in oil-rich dishes such as spaghetti sauce or pizza greatly increase assimilation from the digestive tract into the bloodstream. Lycopene is a fat-soluble substance, so the oil is said to help absorption to a great extent(數量).
