Solution

The correct option is A Green
When white light is incident on an object , it absorbs some constituent colours of white light and some are reflected back , the combination of reflected colours decides the colour of an object that we see.
We know that chlorophyll is of green colour , it means that it absorbs six constituent colours of white light and reflects only green colour i.e. it doesn't absorb green frequency.
