Plants appear green due to the presence of chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment present in the chloroplasts of the plants that absorbs blue and red regions of the light spectrum and reflects green. So, plants appear green because they reflect green light.

So, the correct answer is they reflect green light.
