Solution

The correct option is A Reflects green light
Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. As shown in detail in the absorption spectra, chlorophyll absorbs light in the red (long wavelength) and the blue (short wavelength) regions of the visible light spectrum. Greenlight is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.

So, the correct option is 'Option A'.
