Solution

The correct option is C Green
Answer is C.
The color of an object depends on the wavelength of the light that it scatters.
For example, a black object scatters little light, and absorbs light at all visual wavelengths; a green object scatters more green light than other colors, which it absorbs more.
Hence, a diver from inside water looks at an object whose natural color is green. He sees the object as green.
