Respuesta :

Answer:

B) Violet and blue light by chlorophyl a and orange, and red light by chlorophyl B

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the pigment present in green plants which is used in the process of photosynthesis by trapping solar energy for use. Chlorophyll comprises of two types namely: Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B

Chlorophyll A is known to absorb light in the blue-violet region while chlorophyll B absorbs light in red-blue region. These pigments however don’t absorb green light but they instead reflect it. This makes option C and D invalid. The closest option in their properties is however B.
