Answer:

D. Wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation: the colour of visible light depends on the wavelength of the wave. The visible light spectrum goes approximately from wavelength of 380 nm (corresponding to violet light) to 750 nm (corresponding to red light), and the different colours in between correspond to different wavelengths.
