Answer:

Student A is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Colored objects look the way they do because of reflected light. When sunlight is shined on a green leaf, the violet, red and orange wavelengths are absorbed. The reflected wavelengths appear green. In each case we are seeing the complementary colors to the ones absorbed.
