Solution

The correct option is A Yellow, green, red, white
By heating metal sufficient energy is provided for the excitation of electron from specific orbital to another high energy orbital. As the temperature of the body increases the frequency of emitted radiation also increases that's why one sees a variety of colors as the body gets raised to higher temperature.
The correct order of increasing frequency from lower to higher is Yellow<Green<Red<White.
