Solution

The correct option is D 400-500 nm and 600-700 nm.
Chlorophyll present in the plants can absorb the the wavelength of both blue and red regions of VIBGYOR which ranges from 400-500 nm and 600-700 nm respectively. It reflects the green light range of 500-600 nm hence the leaves appear green.
Therefore the correct option is D
