Solution

The correct option is C Black
Chlorophyll is a critical component in the photosynthetic process as it helps plants and algae absorb energy from the sunlight for the process. However, chlorophyll absorbs most from the blue portion and then the red portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. It reflects green color. So when it is seen in the red light it would appear black.
So, the correct answer is option C.
