Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Corresponding with orange light, is the wavelength that blue solutions absorb the most

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of 633 nm is the wavelength of red light emitted by the helium-neon laser also known as the He-Ne laser

According to absorption spectroscopy and the color wheel, a solution or drink sample that is efficient at absorbing light having a wavelength of 633 nm will appear blue, because, light at 633 nm is red and very close to orange which is the complementary color blue light.
