Solution

The correct option is A

chlorophyll


Green plants are green because they contain a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs certain wavelengths of light within the visible light spectrum. Chlorophyll absorbs red and blue light. Green light is not absorbed but reflected, making the plant appear green.
