Light is form of electromagnetic radiation. It has certain frequency and wavelength. The carriers of light are called photons. Photons have dual particle-wave properties but they are not considered to be matter.

The definition of photons excludes answer A).
All electromagnetic radiation is energy. So the B) is correct answer.
Color is perceived in our eyes as a response to different wavelengths of a light. This excludes answer C).
