Solution
The correct option is B Blue light
Blue light of the spectrum is absorbed more for the process of photosynthesis. Plants have two types of chlorophylls - a and b. Chloropphyll a is a specific form of chlorophyll used in oxygenic photosynthesis. It absorbs most energy from wavelengths of violet-blue and orange-red light. A yellow-green chlorophyll pigment which occurs only in plants and green algae. It functions as a light harvesting pigment that pass on the light excitation to chlorophyll a. It absorbs well at wavelength of 450-500 nm and 600-650 nm.
