Answer:

red

Step-by-step explanation:

The color of the block as seen by you using the glass would be red.

When white light passes through a red filter, only the red portion of the light is allowed to pass through. The other colors (blue, green, yellow, etc.) are absorbed by the filter. So, when you look at the white block through a red filter, you will only see the red portion of the light reflected off the block, making it appear red to your eye.
