Solution
The correct option is B Green
During the process of photosynthesis the energy from visible light is used. It mostly uses blue and red light of the spectrum. Plants are green due to the presence of chloroplast which contains the green pigment chlorophyll in their thylakoid membranes. Chlorophylls absorb red and blue colour, as mentioned above but reflect the green colour and that is why, they appear green in colour. So, the correct option is C.
