B. reflects green light

C. emits green light

ANSWER: B. reflects green light

Step-by-step explanation:

our eyes can only see what objects reflect, so if it's appearing green then obviously it's reflecting the green light.

Answer:

Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light. That particular light wavelength is reflected from the plant, so it appears green. Plants that use photosynthesis to make their own food are called autotrophs.
