Solution

The correct option is C II and III
Tinted glass absorbs all colours except the corresponding colour. Hence, only the same coloured light wavelength passes through the glass. So, when surroundings are seen from the tinted red glass, everything looks in the shades of red.
When green tinted glass is stacked to a red tinted glass, then the red light that passes through the red glass, it is blocked by the glass glass as it can only allow green light. Hence, everything looks dark.
