Solution

The correct option is D Green
Visible light forms a colour spectrum, when passes through a prism, in a phenomenon called dispersion. The coloured spectrum has the colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, from the bottom to the top. So, the midmost colour in the spectrum is green.
