Answer:B and C are true

Step-by-step explanation:

UV "light" spans a range of wavelengths between about 10 and 400 nanometers. Light from 400–700 nanometers (nm) is called visible light, or the visible spectrum, because humans can see it. Light outside this range may be visible to other organisms but cannot be perceived by the human eye.

Hope this helps u!
