Solution
The correct option is A black A yellow filter allows only yellow colour to pass through it. A leaf looks green because leaf reflects green colour and absorbs the rest. Thus, the yellow light passing through the filter will be absorbed by the green leaf. Thus, no colour will be reflected by the leaf making it appear black.
