Solution

The correct option is A Violet, Blue and Red.
Red coloured light is absorbed by chlorophyll in leaves. Blue coloured light is also absorbed not only by chlorophyll but other pigments like carotenoids too. Thus, chlorophyll a and b absorb light in the wavelength of blue to violet and orange to red the most.
So, option A " Violet, Blue and Red" is the correct answer.
