Correct answer

C. characterized by a yellow colour

Step-by-step solution

Both corpus luteum and macula lutea are characterised by a yellow colour. After an egg is released from the ovary, the cells that line the ovarian follicle change shape and colour to become a corpus luteum (yellow body). Macula lutea is the yellowish spot present at the posterior pole of eye. Lutein, zeaxanthin, -carotene and -cryptoxanthin are responsible for its yellow colouration.
