Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A) The object absorbs most white light and refracts most green light.

B) The object refracts most white light and absorbs most green light.

C) More green light is absorbed while more red and blue light is reflected.

D) More green light is reflected while more red and blue light is absorbed.

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Light is an electromagnetic wave that contains different colours at different wavelength. The colour of light that is seen depends on the wavelength of light that is REFLECTED, while other wavelengths of light are ABSORBED. This feature is dependent on the properties of each object that received the sunlight.

For example, an object will appear GREEN because it has properties that enables it to REFLECT most of the GREEN LIGHT but absorbs most of the RED AND BLUE LIGHT in the sunlight passing through the object.
