Answer: a. Yellow

According to the additive theory of color, when we join the three primary colors of light (Red + Green + Blue) we get White light.

On the other hand we have secondary colors of light that are:

Yellow = Red + Green

Magenta = Blue + Red

Cyan = Blue + Green

Now, if we know that:

Red + Green + Blue = White

And:

Red + Green = Yellow

Then:

Yellow + Blue = White
